Troubleshooting
Installation
- Verify your system has Java version 1.5 or higher installed. You can download it from
http://www.java.com.
- Download ZIP file from download section.
- Decompress ZIP file where you want. If you can't do it, install a file archiver, like
7-Zip.
-
That's all! From now on you only need to remember that:
a. If you use Windows, you should open run.bat file. 
b. If you use GNU/Linux, you should open run.sh file. 
c. If you use another system, you should run on a shell or similar this command: "java -jar Google2SRT.jar".
I hope MacOS users could forgive me...
How to use
- You can change the language by clicking on the flags:
, , ...
- You can choose what method you will use: Web or XML file. Normally, you will use Web method.
Web converts subtitles by only writing the video address (URL) on "Google subtitles" textbox.
Using XML file you must first download manually subtitles file. It's an obsolete option, it's there for "emergencies".
- With Web method, you can get a subtitles list (bottom panel) for your chosen video by using "Read" button.
With XML file method there is not a subtitles list (there is only one subtitles set per file).
"Browse..." (top) button let you select source file path.
- You can choose where you want to save subtitles on "SRT subtitles" textbox or "Browse..." (middle) button.
- You can select what subtitles you want to convert from list (bottom panel). "All" selects all subtitles.
"Invert" inverts current selection.
- Occasionally, you would need to synchronize subtitles. "Delay (seconds)" textbox delays subtitles an amount
of seconds (if the value it's positive). You can obtain the opposite effect, move forward the subtitles, by writing negative values.
Example: If subtitles appear 6.25 seconds before you want to, you should delay them 6.25 seconds. If subtitles appear 3.70 seconds too
late, you should move them forward adding a delay of -3.70 seconds.
- "Go!" button starts conversion process. If there are many subtitles (one or two hours of video, approximately 180 KB in SRT)
it needs 5 seconds approximately.
Troubleshooting
-
Problem: I use Web method and I write a valid URL with subtitles but it doesn't appear any subtitles list,
appears a subtitles list but I can't convert them, I receive an unknown error or application finishes suddenly...
Solution: Maybe subtitles obtaining method has changed. You should wait for a newer version or you can try to download subtitles
manually (being helped by an sniffer).
-
Problem: I receive meaningless error messages when an URL it's not correct or there is a network error.
Solution: For now, you must be patient until appears a newer version...
