• IMDB search:

Tips

• Always try to search with Title, Year or season number for better results.

• Search by filename reference.

  Search in this way have advantage because the results are filtered and ordered by the metadata of the filename.

• Try to pass the IMDB ID of the movie or TV Show.

• Pass keywords (--keyword -k "<str1 str2 str3 ...>") of the subtitle you are searching for better ordered results.

• If the search not found any records by a single chapter number (exe. S01E02) try search by the complete Seasson with --Seasson -S parameter.

• Very important!: You need to be installed some rar decompression tool for example: unrar (preferred), unar, 7zip or bsdtar. Otherwise, subtitle file will do not decompress.
