Download Subtitles For VLC Player Automatically


Untitled-1 copy

Finding subtitles and then retroactively adding them to a video source isn’t all that fun. A much easier solution is to download “vlsub” and grab the subtitles from within VLC player.

Follow the guide below for downloading, installing, and using vlsub for automatically downloading subtitles for video files.

Download the file

Visit the download link below and right-click the page to save as a regular file, under the default extension “lua.”

Where to save the file

The file will need to be saved in the VLC installation folder. Use this reference for your particular OS:
  • Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
  • Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\vlc\lua\extensions\
  • Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
  • Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
  • Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
  • Mac OS X (current user): /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/
Because we’re using a Windows x86 version, we’ll pick the first path but change it to include the “x86” path.

Save the file as one with a type of “All Files” to ensure the proper extension is retained.

Alternatively, if you have Windows 7, just download and run the “windows_installer.bat” file for an automated install. Follow the onscreen prompt to install for either all users with an “a” or the current user only with a “c.”

How to use vlsub

Start VLC with a video file and choose the menu item “View > VLSub” or “VLC > Extension > VLSub” if you're using Mac OS X. Click on "Search by hash" or "Search by name,” then select a subtitles file on the list. Click on "Download selection" to get the subtitle file automatically.

The subtitles are downloaded from opensubtitles.org.
Download the vlsub text file or one just for Windows 7

YIFY Movies: Where to Find Them

YTS.AM  (formerly YTS.AG) is the official website for YIFY movie torrents . Every movie on this website is available through a magnet link or .TORRENT file without needing to log on or create any sort of account. Every movie torrent has two sets of information. One is technical details like if it's in 720p, 1080p, and/or 3D, and the other is the movie related information such as the cast, synopsis, trailer, and screenshots. You can also read comments about the movie that were left by other YTS.AM users, as well as IMDb reviews that are embedded on the page. Important:  I do not condone using YTS.AM since most of the content is protected by copyright laws in most countries. Note:  Don't forget to download torrents safely with a VPN service (for anonymous torrenting ) and an antivirus program or on-demand malware scanner . I recommend uTorrent as an offline torrent downloader and these if you want an online torrent client .

Put.io Review

My favorite way to download torrents is to use Put.io. Yes, there is a fee to use it but I think the cost is completely worth it. There are multiple reasons this is my favorite torrent downloader, which I'll explain below. However, if you want just one reason, consider that you can download torrents through your web browser without a desktop client, from anywhere you have access to the internet. Another cool thing about Put.io is that if you use it while connected to a VPN service , you're essentially downloading torrents anonymously .
