The application takes too long to open. When I click the icon I see an empty window for a looong time, then I get the Gnome window saying the application is not responding, asking if I want to force close or wait. I click wait, then after a while it comes up again, and the process repeats for a few times. After 4-5x I finally see the directory listing.
My movies are in a 3rd level directory under an NFS mounted directory: /mnt/nas is the mounted directory, and /mnt/nas/Video is where the video files are.
I tried running "strace" on the while the app was starting, and I notice it was scanning ALL files under the root NFS directory (/mnt/nas), which I THINK is causing the delay, because there is a huge amount of non-video files (docs, MP3, etc).
If you need any more information, just let me know how to provide it. Apparently debug mode is not very helpful (notice the 7 minutes delay between "current directory" and "creating server".

Can you try the commandline version of the software to see what it could be?
try the -h option to get the parameters help.
Also you could try to delete the $HOME/. config/ SubDownloader/ SubDownloader. conf file and restart the application, and let us know.
