remove its local definition (one might argue this one was specifically about handling compressed subtitles, but the whole port is ``Subtitles searching module'', so generic description fits just fine) - Unbreak the port by pointing to archived distfile in Google Cloud Storage and update WWW: line in the port description while I'm here

periscope is a subtitles searching module written in python that
|
|
tries to find a correct match for a given video file. The goal
|
|
behind periscope is that it will only return only correct subtitles
|
|
so that you can simply relax and enjoy your video without having
|
|
to double-check that the subtitles match your video before watching
|
|
it. This is done by using as much info as available from your file
|
|
and on the websites. Some websites allow you to use hash of the
|
|
files, the size/length of the video or the exact file name.
|
|
|
|
As a python module, periscope should be easily integrated in many
|
|
projects that allow plugins to be written in python. The fact that
|
|
the plugin is shared between all the applications means that separate
|
|
application and their plugin (file browser, video player, media
|
|
center application, ...) don't have to maintain the code to search,
|
|
parse and download subtitles and the user preference about languages.
|
|
|
|
The subtitles websites are handled as plugins.
