    That’s an Opensubs.com or maybe .org that applies only in some countries. Use a VPN to get around it or try another subtitle site.

    Hi,

    How do i tell zidoo to try another site?

    I am talking about the download feature of the zidoo player that has the problem....

    Oh really! I thought you were referring to downloading on a PC or MAC. As far as I know there is no way to configure Zidoo to use a different subtitle site. That message is often seen on PC downloads, in some countries.

    I just checked on my PC. No problem from Sydney Australia but if I use Opera browser with Asia as a VPN I need to log into the site. So depending on where Zidoo accesses Opensubtitles might be the source of the problem.

    I’m on firmware
    Zidoo Firmware Version v6.4.62_G_202304191454
    HT v4.2.50

    My firmware is before they stripped the source details out of the subs in version ……65
    Just checked and 3 sets of subs appeared with all the details.

    no vpn just local Telstra internet.

    Thank you very much.maybe i need a firmware update.
    are there any glitches on 6.4.62?
    Also, did you download the subs as well?

    6.4.62 works fine on my UHD3000 no glitches I've experienced. For me its solid but I won't go to 65.

    No I didn't download the subs initially - just did and I get the same message. Further checking I found this

    https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/osdb-link-review/

    https://troypointinsider.com/t/opensubtitles-org-prob/105864

    So it looks like a Opensubtitle problem and not Zidoo. Also people using KODI are having problems.

    Until it gets sorted the only workaround is to independently look for and download the subs.

    Ok so its a general problem from opensubtitles,
    lets hope the zidoo team fixes it (i think its simple to go from the API of opensubtitle.org to com)
