BSplayer equivalent in Arch... aka, automating subtitles downloading

Hello,

In windows I had BSplayer / Sublight which would download the subtitles for the TVshow / movie I was watching. On arch I use mplayer, which is great, but it doesn't download subtitles.

How can I download subtitles based on movie / tv show file? It's one of those things I miss when on Arch.

Cheers.

Smplayer supports downloading subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org. It's not fully automatic, but it's a one click thing.

Yeah, pretty limited though. On windows Sublight / BSplayer search at least 3+ sources.

How many subs it cannot find on Opensubtitles.org?

Perhaps you could use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/submarine-git/.
