I have been using the time offset to get the subtitles to match up but it when I get them synced in the start, as the movie progresses, it gets out of sync over time. I have tried several movies and have downloaded different .srt files all have done it. Can you offer any advice? i have been trying to use your converter and I think I am doing something wrong.

I think this is the one that worked for me. IIRC, it was about a 25 second timeshift. http://www.allsubs.org/subs-download2/moon-en-2009-eng-fxg/1675945/ I didn't know they were sometimes illegal! Wow. Sweet! I think this is the one that worked for me. IIRC, it was about a 25 second timeshift. http://www.allsubs.org/subs-download2/moon-en-2009-eng-fxg/1675945/

Oddly I never considered that a barrier, seemed like something they'd want people to have access to.

Heck, sometimes I go through several srt files before I find one that's good. For instance just to get subtitles for Moon, I had to download 4 different srt files before I found one that had the proper timing for the Netflix version. I can see where they [Netflix] are coming from. They have a huge library they need to work on, and who knows what kind of format they get the videos from the studios. So while converting the community files is easy, verifying them would take a lot of time. To answer your question, I haven't contacted Netflix. Partly because I have been to lazy to do so and they likely have a valid business reason for not telling anyone about it. Could they make it easier to load our own subtitles...maybe. But they would probably then need extra support personal and get messes they just don't want to deal with.

“Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

I mean wow, if it's implemented in their system, and it can give people access to literally thousands of files, why is it not incorporated? Better yet, why isn't netflix simply taking existing subtitle and caption files, converting them, and giving people access? Seems like they could do a few hundred movies and tv shows a day, at least. Have you thought about contacting them and asking why they don't advertise this ability or make it easier to access? I wondered for a long time why they didn't just support srt formats.
