Subs fixed with srt_fix_stdlib.exe have subtile timestamps are reversed. I.e.:
1
00:00:06,769 --> 00:00:04,610
how is the day treating you so far so

2
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:06,779
good yeah go to the gym a little bit

Thank you for the work you put on this fix. I wanna suggest adding an option to have the sub on 2 rows. It's easier to pay attention when the subtitle is rendered like this.

Hi, I'm using the latest version of yt-dlp, and my options are (through .conf file):
-P "%DOWNLOADS%" -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -S ext --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en --convert-subs=srt --use-postprocessor srt_fix
But no fixed.srt file generated after run.
Could you help find the problem? Thanks.

Your documentation is helpful and got me running on the srt_fix.py as well as the GUI. However the documentation regarding how and where to install srt_fixer_cli.py is a bit sparse. It assumes the user knows where to place the files and how to do so. There is no python install command for installing it, so I made the assumption that I should manually download the repo, and drop all the files within the already downloaded postprocessor (from the srt_fix install process).

This does work, however in the event I need to reinstall windows, I will need to remember to manually do this process again. It would be helpful if you added some lines to the Readme about how to install srt_fixer_cli.py via pip or such. Thank you

The README.md file for srt_fix has a section entitled "Installation" which states "Windows : Download the .exe from release".

Clicking on the hyperlink in the last word (i.e. "release") results in a "404 - page not found" error.

I get this error
when trying to run the python

Traceback (most recent call last):

You're probably already aware, but I noticed you created a ticket here regarding skipping the video download while allowing postprocessing to continue. I just wanted to bring to your attention that you got a reply on that thread months after your original post. I tested it out in my environment, and it does in fact work. There may be some tweaking necessary in the srt_fix invocation afterwards, but overall I think this would be a great addition to your script. At least as a fork for those who want to only download subtitles.

This appears to be correct as of now:

python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/bindestriche/srt_fix/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

yt-dlp https://youtu.be/p2c6ioGbXCs --download-sections "*1:26:46-1:43:56" -f 137+140 --merge-output-format mp4
yt-dlp -f 140 --download-sections "*4:30-5:30" https://youtu.be/p2c6ioGbXCs
yt-dlp -f 140 --download-sections "*00:04:30-00:05:10" https://youtu.be/p2c6ioGbXCs

the command above will only download the specific during of content. Can you add the "download-sections" to your code?
like, yt-dlp --write-subs --sub-langs en --convert-subs=srt --restrict-filenames --no-check-certificates --use-postprocessor srt_fix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ-DLRP8JUA -f 140 --download-sections "*00:04:30-00:06:30"

thanks

I've downloaded and ran the srt_fixer_cli.py on a subtitle file. I then get the error AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'oath'. Did you mean: 'path'? referencing lines 72 and 74. I believe this may be a typo, the oath should be path. Once I changed both those oath to path, saved the file and ran the script again, it successfully converts the subtitle with no errors.

I am trying to use this on my mac (running Sonoma 14.4.1) from the shell. This is what happens:
