How can I get Subliminal to work and then integrate it with a file system?

[deaton25]

I have downloaded Subliminal which is a program that downloads movie subtitles.But there are several problems: (1) when I test it at the console with a
movie that I know has an English subtitle, I get an unsatisfactory response:
alan@alan-Latitude-D530:~$ subliminal -l en la fin du jour.avi
usage: subliminal -l LANGUAGE [LANGUAGE ...] [-s] [-c CACHE_FILE]
[-p PROVIDER [PROVIDER ...]] [-m MIN_SCORE] [-a AGE] [-h]
[-f] [--addic7ed-username USERNAME]
[--addic7ed-password PASSWORD] [-q | -v]
[--log-file LOG_FILE] [--color] [--debug] [--version]
[--help]
PATH [PATH ...]
subliminal: error: too few arguments


(2) I loaded a bash script into Nautilus so that I could download subtitles by a right-click on a movie file instead of having to go to a console. But I could not get a successful download!:

LANGUAGE="en"


while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
MOVIE="$1"
subliminal "$MOVIE" -l "$LANGUAGE"
shift
done


(3) Finally,In another attempt to download the subtitle with a right-click on the movie file, I opened Thunar File Management and loaded a command into its Custom Action:
subliminal -f -l en --%N
Alas, this did not work either!


My objective here is:
(1) make sure that Subliminal actually is working i.e.downloads subtitles
(2) integrate Subliminal with a file system so that it operates with a right-click on a movie file without have to work at the terminal

Try first with simple command like:

subliminal -l en Name_Of_The_Movie_file.mkv

Then more complex command like:

subliminal -m 0 -l en fi --addic7ed-username <username> --addic7ed-password <password> -- Name_Of_The_Movie_file.mkv

Those are working just fine for me!
