Is this dead?

Is this project dead? There hasn't been an update in a long time...

I've seen recent pull requests merged, but it's not like this really needs updates all that frequently. Even with code from over a year ago, this is the only subtitle syncer I've found which works basically flawlessly. I've tried several others and none of them could sync subs as well as this does. I hope they do keep up development because this is hands down the best sub syncer out there.

I would love to see them ship this in official docker images though, because the setup is a bit involved and there are third party docker images out there but having one from the official project would be nicer.

I agree with what you wrote. Personally I can't complain much, except sometimes it doesn't sync properly. Very rare but happens. The only real "complain" I have is that it doesn't work on Wayland in Linux. Other than that it works fine.

@Pemicope I was going to create an issue for that exact same issue. It works on wayland but it needs to be run with sudo (gdb debugging told me it was a permissions issue with /usr/libexec/snapd/snap-confine", at least the snap version:

Just tested it and it works! Not ideal but what matters is it works.
Thank you!
