Where did the subtitle data come from? It's got a mispelling of Horatio McCallister in it:

Also when are you going to get seasons 16+? I really need to be able to find Jeff Albertson! (Comic book guy)




Interesting, thanks for the report there. Coincidentally, this misspelling is also present in all the subtitles that Simpsons World uses!

We chose the season 15 cutoff pretty much arbitrarily. We're not necessarily opposed to later seasons, but we'd like to have some better season/episode filtering in place before expanding more.


Make sense with the seasons. Certainly helps when you've got issues like season 11 being off like it is. There's other reports of the search functionality being literal with punctuation and other things to work out. It'd be really neat with more polish and possibly adding in more tv shows. I imagine the data needs are pretty substantial, but I wonder if there might be a good way to deal with that by having the server generate the jpgs on the fly from the better compressed video files. That might really be a big win if BPG or other formats actually take off and begin replacing jpg.
