It should be possible to configure a user for UMS to use unless this has been broken since I made it. That means you'd have to create an opensubtitles.org user and store the username and password in UMS' "creds" file.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the API stays "lock down" also after the pandemic is over.

You might have to create it yourself. I'm not sure to what extent this is documented or where this documentation exists, but it actually a very simple text file. I think it should be placed in the UMS profile folder (where you find UMS.conf), and I think it should be names "UMS.cred".

The template is:

Code: Select all

# Add credentials to the file
# on the format tag=user,password
# For example:
# channels.xxx=name,secret

The clue thus is what the "tag" is, but from a quick look in the source code it looks like the tag is simply "opensubtitles".

If this is the case, all you would need to do is to create a file, UMS.cred, in the correct folder, containing the following:

Code: Select all

opensubtitles=<username>,<password>
