Automatic Subtitle Downloading Tool for Nautilus in Ubuntu. Uses Opensubtitles.org's XMLRPC based API to query and download subtitles.

It's front-end is basically a Nautilus-Action Configuration, that gives a submenu option to download subtitles.

The backend is a small python script that generates the video file's hash and does a query to the Opensubtitles API.

The Default Environment used is Python2.x as the hashing function isn't very compatible with Python3.x.

If any Subtitle is there related to the video hash, the program downloads it automatically and places the subtitle in the same folder as the video.

Language Support has been added , and the default language is to be selected during the process of installation.
