Subtitleedit: Option to remove OpenSubtitles ads

[07416]

OpenSubtitles implements advertising to all downloaded subtitles, the ads appear on the first and last line (not precisely, may be timing-based). The ad-line seems to be displayed for six seconds. The paid advertisements aren't marked in any way, but because they contain a domain name filtering should be feasible.

placeholder ads:

I highly recommend enabling this setting by default, opensubtitles.org in any case generates revenue of copyrighted work.

Just add this to multiple replace: (?is).*opensubtitles.* replaced with nothing and it will remove the lines containing opensubtitles from the files.
I don't think he'll add this option because if the subtitle file is from the website, it can do what it wants...

Yes, do like OmrSi suggested: Use Edit -> Multiple replace... and use a regex .
Also check example 3 here: https://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit/Help#multiple_replace

I don't understand, unless you mean that websites should be allowed to profit of ripped subtitle files.

(?is).*\.com* removes all lines containing .com as it likely is the most common advertised top-level domain.

@07416 It would cause a problem if they mentioned a website in the video...
