Subtitles addon not working - Muertomatao - 3rd Apr, 2013 09:16 PM

Hi there.

I have latest xbian version installed.
I have the RPi connected via ethernet and a mouse and a HDD on the usb.

When i play a video, I can't download subtitles for it.
I just click the subtitles icon, get the window saying that I have no subs plugin installed and I click to install one.
Then, a window just opens and closes instantly.

Is there any way to solve this?

I've been googling for 2h but didn't find a clue.

Thank you!

just go to System>Add-ons and than XBMC Repository and install Subtitles add-on
than do all necessary settings within addon and only after all thus is done you would be able to use it Wink

I have the same issue over here.
Actually I don't see the entry Subtitles within the XBMX Repo.

Am I missing something?

?? really weird
are you sure you navigate the right direction (double checking)
I just double checked on few machines (PC's, RPi's) and all have the subs addon in official repository available.
Try to force refresh XBMC.org Add-ons repository

just navigate to your repo(do not click/enter into) and evoke contextual menu (C from keyboard, Option from remote (CEC) or RMC on mouse)
than you would see the option to do so Wink

just navigate to your repo(do not click/enter into) and evoke contextual menu (C from keyboard, Option from remote (CEC) or LMC on mouse)
than you would see the option to do so

Thanks again. Unfortunately this didn't fixed the problem.
My menu only shows a total number of 10 entries.

please can you write step by step how you proceed and what addons categories you see under XBMC.org repo ?

Ok. I did the force update.
I'm actually using the german language setup, so i hope my translations are accurate.
My menu shows the following entries:

Photo addons
Screen saver
Services
Movie info
Music addons
Program addons
Skin
Song text
Video addons
Web interface.

something is not right in yours and it has nothing to do with language selection as I just switched to german and I was still able to see all categories ...
Can you try look under
System>Settings>Add-ons>Get Add-ons>All Add-ons ?

If I do that I can see zero entries.
i guess the easiest thing probably is to do a fresh install from scratch.

What is also weird is as soon as i close my putty connection, the system goes to blank screen.

i will try again tomorrow.
Thank you.
