#### Converts VobSub subtitles (.idx/.sub format) into .srt subtitles

VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles
into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer
project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied
from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.

An example of using the tool is below, note that you can pass a `--blacklist` of characters to help the OCR recognition - there is also a sub-command `vobsub2srt.with-basic-blacklist` which has a basic blacklist. If you want to see the processing of each line you can pass `--verbose`.

If you have the files `subtitles.idx subtitles.sub` simply run the command `vobsub2srt subtitles` this will generate a new file called `subtitles.srt`.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install vobsub2srt

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/vobsub2srt/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
