Subdownloader Linux can't download subtitles

[Marc]

Recently from about 15 dec 2015 I can't download subtitles anymore on Linux MInt 17.01. I have tested this also on another machine with Linux Mint 17.03 but problem is the same. I can see the selected subtitles, but I can't download them.
Tested on a HP Dc7900 USDT 3 Ghz, 4GB Mem.

Same here using Ubuntu 15.04 64 Bit

I managed to fix this (the GUI version, at least), by changing one line in main.py (attached as a patch)

patch works, thanx!

Dear Bartłomiej Kamiński,
I saw and read the patch. I must go to the systemfiles- USR- share- subdownloader and make changes in the main-py file.
Can I just insert the whole patch line text into the main-py file with texteditor?

**2.0.18-2 works for me.** (Which might contain the same fix. I did not check.)

Recently, 2.0.18 started to return a dialog of download failure in the GUI.
Instead of the subtitle it downloaded a html page that said that the owner of the page (OpenSubtitles.org) banned the identifier of my browser (subdownloader).
The "Sub Info" button still took me to the right webpage and I could download the subtitle manually.

# Solution #

Then I checked on https://launchpad.net/subdownloader and saw that there is a new source package (2.0.18-2) in the Xenial universe repo.

As it's written in python, the xenial .deb could just work out of the box:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/subdownloader

To be more safe, I built it for my Trusty from the source.
For the less experienced:
```sh
# add repo definition
echo 'deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
# update package lists
sudo apt-get update
# install build dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep subdownloader
# create & go to temp. dir. to build
origdir="`pwd`"; tmpdir="`mktemp -d`"; cd "$tmpdir"
# download, build and generate binary package (no root perm. needed)
apt-get -b source subdownloader
# install the bin. pkg(s)
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
# fix dependency issues if any
sudo apt-get -f install
## cleanup:
# go back
cd "$origdir"
# remove temp. dir. w/ built stuff (if you want to keep the .deb, copy/move it out)
rm -R "$tmpdir"
# remove last repo def. (that we added)
sudo sed -i '$d' /etc/apt/sources.list
```
