BIG NOTE: This is deprecated solely on the fact of how old it is, I never really got around to making sure it worked
as well as making it take in URLs. Maybe if/when I feel bored enough I'll look into doing more with this
assuming there isn't a standard way of downloading subtitles from Viki by then (there might be right now as far as I know).
VikiSub - JSON to SRT for subtitles from Viki
==================
BACKGROUND
==================
So this is something that was made over the course of the
weekend, and at the start of it I knew little to no Ruby at all.
So I was messing around with the Viki.com, and got curious
with how they do their subtitles. After a bit of poking around
in the source code I found where the subtitle files are stored
for each video. They're stored as JSON files with the start/end
times as milliseconds, and well to skip a bunch, this little ruby script/program was made. Many thanks to my friend torque with help on this and Ruby in general.
It's pretty basic at the moment, I plan to do quite a bit with it though. Please also don't go claiming any converted subtitles as entirely your own, as it's thanks to whoever made the translations.
