suboptimal

Suboptimal is a minimalistic command line interface (CLI) subtitle finder written in Rust. It works for any video, movie or TV show you have! If the subtitles exist on a publically available database online, suboptimal will find and download it for you.

Currently, suboptimal uses the SubDB API to pull subtitles, with more APIs to added soon.

Installation

There are three different options here: installation through the package manager, manual installation of the binary or manual installation after building it from source.

Package Manager

This is the simplest option if you use the pacman package manager. You can navigate to the releases tab and download the package named suboptimal-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.

Run the installation:

pacman -U suboptimal-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I will try to add this package into AUR later to make it even easier.

Manual Installation Of The Binary

Navigate to the releases tab and download the binary named suboptimal.

Manually install it:

mv suboptimal /usr/bin/

Manual Installation After Building From Source

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Tatsuonline/suboptimal.git

Build the release:

cargo build --release

Install it:

cargo install --path .
