How use it?

Basic usage is:

$./subs.py ../Movies/movie.avi

Default language for searched subtitles is system language. If it can't detect, then it fall to English (eng), but you can specify language, for example:

$./subs.py -l cze ../Movies/movie.avi

Subtitles are default downloaded to same directory as is movie. -d directory argument allow download them to custom directory.

$./subs.py -d /mnt/subtitles/ ../Movies/movie.avi

You can also download at once subtitles for more files:

$./subs.py ../Movies/movie1.avi ../Movies/movie2.avi

or via bash expansion:

$./subs.py ../Movies/*.avi

And what about removing advertisement in subtitles (annonying link etc.)? Just use (experimental) -a argument

$./subs.py -a ../Movies/*.avi

and of course you can combine it with -l lang, or -d directory argument.
