Hama.bundle VS PlexSubtitleExtractor

I personally keep my anime separate and use ZeroQI/Hama.bundle.

I’m not really sure what is classified as a special. I have always just put the folders for anime shows and anime movies in the same library folder. Hama uses anidb for a lot of matching, so I’m not sure you’d run into the tvdb issues that poster mentioned. Here is the github for Hama if you want to read up on it. It goes over absolute scanner in there too. https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle

https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle/issues/547 this one is for his anime scanner agent but been having recent issues as well. Hopefully it's not something on Plex cutting off third party access but just a bug that cropped up randomly

HAMA itself was updated in january this year, and ASS was nov 2022. you gotta click on code and download zip and then follow installation instructions https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle

If you want to know more about the above formatting here is the link.

You need both to make this work. Definitely make a different library for anime. This is Hama. Also you can refer to this post if you're having trouble

According to the installation instructions, it's only for Synology, FreeNAS, Debian & Ubuntu. There is no mention of Nvidia Shield compatibility.

I linked the support article in my first reply: Adding Local Subtitles to Your Media, along with a couple sites you can use to search for those subtitles. If you're familiar with running Python scripts, you could also try running this, which should extract any subtitles you've recently downloaded via Plex's search to a folder that you can then copy alongside the file it belongs to.

They're stored in the Plex blob database as compressed text, and not editable directly. I wrote this script awhile ago that can dump all subtitles it finds into a directory of your choice, which you could then edit and place next to your media as an additional subtitle track. It's a very basic script without many options, but if you're familiar with Python you could probably expand on it to save the subtitles next to the media automatically, or even re-gzip them and overwrite the entries in the database.

I just created this script, which in theory will dump all subtitles that are stored in the Plex database (named inline with the files they're associated with). It admittedly hasn't been heavily tested, but it worked for my server.
