HOW-TO:Set up subtitle services

Template:Gotham Starting in XBMC v13 "Gotham" subtitles are now built into XBMC, and instead of downloading the subtitle download add-on, you install specific subtitle services.

Note: You have to use a pretty up-to-date skin or the new options won’t be implemented yet. To be safe work with confluence until you do this one-time setup.

Note: If no subtitle services show up you need to do the following one time: Add-on_manager#Empty_repository_list.

Steps

1	From XBMC's home screen, go to Settings -> Video -> Subtitles. There you will see the new subtitles settings.
2	Select the languages you want to get when searching for subtitles. For the time being there is no way of selecting order (or main language for that matter) so the search results will be shown in whatever order your service of choice (we’ll come to that) decides it fits.
3	Select default Service for TV Episodes and Movies. Here you can also download additional subtitle services. Note: For the time being there are only a bunch of services ported to this new paradigm so you’ll probably have to wait a while for your favorite service to get ported. Please be patient.
4	Each subtitles module might have additional settings (for example you have options to enter your login info in podnapisi). To change this you have to go to each service options through Settings -> Add-ons -> Enabled Add-ons -> Subtitles -> select the service add-on -> Configure
