Question Subtitles dl from Prime sometimes have what appears to be a previous episode recap at beginning

[markmarz]

For example, I downloaded Dallas S06E01 with subtitles. The subtitles downloaded do match the episode to a point, but there is extra text at the beginning. I then used this tool:

Amazon Prime Subtitles wrecked

With AnyStream 1.3.2.1 (64-bit), and also AnyStream 1.3.1.0 (64-bit), I've noticed glitched out subtitles on a download from Amazon Prime. "Jack Reacher (2012) - S01E03 - Black 22" apparently has two English subtitles, forced and assistive. Both of them end up with zero timestamps for captions...

to download all available subtitles for this episode:

Two subtitles were downloaded with the script. One matches the (bad) subtitle downloaded with AS, the other matches the video perfectly.

Bad AS download, with what is likely a recap from prior episode:

1
00:00:04,137 --> 00:00:06,551
He has to live. He just has to.

2
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:09,034
You'’re not Christopher'’s father.
You can'’t claim him.

3
00:00:09,103 --> 00:00:10,793
Bobby, just calm down.

4
00:00:10,862 --> 00:00:12,862
You tried to blackmail me
with a child

5
00:00:12,931 --> 00:00:14,793
you thought was your own.
You scum.

6
00:00:14,862 --> 00:00:18,724
I vote my 20 shares
John Ross'’ 10, and Ray'’s 10,

7
00:00:18,793 --> 00:00:20,655
that I remain president
of Ewing Oil.

8
00:00:20,724 --> 00:00:22,689
-Lucy?
-Out.

9
00:00:22,758 --> 00:00:24,034
Well, we have a tie.

10
00:00:24,103 --> 00:00:26,896
If you vote to dismiss J.R...

11
00:00:26,965 --> 00:00:29,482
...you will have to step in
and run Ewing Oil.

12
00:02:09,793 --> 00:02:13,344
Sue Ellen. << this is actual first line of dialogue in video

The good subtitle downloaded with script:

1
00:00:01,958 --> 00:00:04,395
[theme music]

2
00:00:31,335 --> 00:00:34,425
[music continues]

3
00:01:01,365 --> 00:01:04,455
[music continues]

4
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,556
[instrumental music]

5
00:01:39,273 --> 00:01:40,709
Sue Ellen. << first line of dialogue, matches video

Note that if I play the episode on the Amazon Prime website, the correct subtitle is matched with the video automagically. So my guess is that AS is picking the wrong one of a pair of possible subtitles.

You're comparing english CC (or SDH) with all the noises and sounds and regular english, there are not the same.

What in the world are you talking about?

This has nothing whatsoever to do with SDH or not. Just look at the content I posted. Observe the timestamps. See last line of each excerpt.

What else do I have to tell you? How to read?

 

[BCloud]

You downloaded 2 subtitles you said, I don’t have the title so I can’t check but I suppose one is sdh and the other is regular, it’s the same with AS, which one you downloaded ?

Here you are comparing the regular from AS and the SDH from the script, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Is there any difference with the SAME subtitle if you get it from AS and from the script ? If not, what I suppose, it’s because they made mistakes from amazon side, nothing wrong in AS.

Are you READING the excerpts I supplied? Can you interpret the timestamps?

Unbelievable. I'm not going to hold your hand again. Just buzz off, please.

Be polite or do not post. This is a support forum not a place to have a hissy fit.

My patience wears thin when people don't even read what's presented before casting doubt and driving the discussion into worthless tangents. I gave the guy 2 chances.

Let it wear thin someplace else. Not here. Rudeness towards other members will not be tolerated.
