OpenSubtitles download error 406

Subtitle downloads from OpenSubtitles may fail depending on time of day. This is due to our daily download quota being exceeded. Current amount of donations is barely enough to pay for the existing quota. So it is unlikely that quota can be increased and situation will get worse over time.
If you create an OpenSubtitles account and configure it in MPC-HC settings then you may be able to bypass the quota.

Overview of features

A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about:

• Play HDR video
  This requires using either MPC Video Renderer (MPCVR) or madVR.
  These renderers can be selected here:
  Options > Playback > Output
  With other video renderers, the colors will be wrong!
  MPCVR is included and is the recommended and default renderer for modern systems. MadVR needs to be installed separately. MPCVR also supports Dolby Vision. MadVR does not.
  For optimal performance you should change the hardware decoder to D3D11 in LAV Video Decoder settings when using MPCVR on Windows 10/11, because this renderer uses DirectX11.
• The installer of MPC-HC is very basic (and that will not change).
  I therefore recommend using K-Lite Codec Pack. That includes MPC-HC and other essential components. It has a very advanced installation that can automatically create file associations, and helps you with easy configuration of important MPC-HC settings, such as preferred subtitle language(s). It also does automatic configuration of renderer and hardware decoding, for best performance and HDR support.
  The Standard version should be sufficient for most people. Use Full version of you like to use MadVR.
• Modern GUI Theme (Dark or Light) or the old classic theme
  Options > Player > User Interface
  It is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons.
  Plus there are options to show audio/video details in the statusbar, such as codec and resolution.
• Customizable toolbar buttons
  You can add/remove/re-order the player buttons.
  There are also several different toolbar designs to choose from.
• Video preview on the seekbar
  Options > Player > User Interface > Hover type
• Ability to search for subtitles
  Press D for manual search.
  Or enable automatic search in: Options > Subtitles > Misc
• Adjust playback speed
  Menu > Play > Playback rate
  The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%):
  Options > Playback > Speed step
  If you have 1000 IQ you can even do smart stuff like setting playback rate change to mouse right-click + scrollwheel:
  Options > Player > Mouse
  Adjusting playback speed works best with MPC Audio Renderer or SaneAR. These audio renderers have automatic pitch correction, while DirectSound does not.
  Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer
• MPC-HC can remember recently played files and also their playback position, so you can resume playback from when you left
  Options > Player > History
• You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.
• You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown.
• You can right-click on the framestep button to step backwards. Some other buttons also have right-click actions, such as closing file by right-clicking stop.
• You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.
  Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting)
  Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only)
• A-B repeat
  You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers.
• You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video
  Menu > View > Pan&Scan
  This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).
• There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well.
  Options > Player > Keys
  Tip: there is a search box above the table.
• You can hide GUI elements even in windowed mode
  Options > User Interface > Hide Windowed Controls
  That hides most GUI elements during playback. To show them simply move your mouse to bottom of window.
  You can even hide everything except the video by pressing 1 (restore normal view with 3).
• You can seek inside the playlist by simply typing text (when playlist window has the mouse focus).
• MPC-HC also supports Blu-ray playback.
  Only limitation is that you need to use a decrypting tool.
  And it also does not support Blu-ray menus, but you can use the navigate menu in the player to select the content to play.
• You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites
  Put yt-dlp.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder.
  Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL
  You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy
  Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder.
  Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced
  This includes an option to specify the location of yt-dlp.exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder.
  Note 1: You also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
  Note 2: For optimal Youtube support you may also need to put deno.exe in same folder as yt-dlp.
  Note 3: yt-dlp nightly build (very latest version made daily)
  Note 4: yt-dlp windows7 compatible build
• Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc.
• You should really take a few minutes to look through all the options pages if you are a new user or if you are upgrading from a very old version. Don't forget the advanced options page.

Project Updates

Add-ons / Web Extensions

• As part of Nova about:addons work:
  • Restyled the Extensions panel empty states to match the Figma specs, including a new illustration for the disabled add-ons and private browsing states – Bug 2058450
  • Fixed a jiggle effect when scrolling through theme previews in about:addons – Bug 2059917
  • Added spacing between message bars and their sibling elements in the about:addons page (empty state promo, theme appearance mode control) – Bug 2066436
• Set focus on the extension permissions prompt dialog so keyboard users can reach it – Bug 2059855
• Removed activeAddons/activeTheme/activeGMPlugins from the legacy telemetry environment, now collected only through Glean – Bug 2055613

DevTools

• Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe] fixed an issue in the inspector to stop showing the HTML editor for nodes (e.g text or whitespace nodes) which should not be editable when F2 is pressed. (#2064213)
• Sebastian Zartner [:sebo] updated the documentation for the Rules view to include details around the  @media emulation panel added some weeks back. (#2063851)

• Chris Van Linden fixed an styling issue in debugger editor file search bar where the button hover background overlapped the focus outline (#2063466)
• Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]  fixed an a11y issue where the keyboard focused sliders in the fonts panel did not have the correct contrast against the background. This allows keyboard users to easily see which control currently has focus. (#2062576)
• Hubert Boma Manilla (:bomsy) added telemetry to track the usage of styles sheets shown in the debugger (#2060500)

WebDriver

• Khalid AlHaddad improved Marionette and Remote Agent to quit Firefox with a custom error code when they failed to start their server.
• Khalid AlHaddad updated the moz:debugging module to properly handle nested pauses.
• Sameem updated the handling of user contexts to clean up the settings set per a user context (e.g., proxy settings or accepting of insecure certificates) also when a user context is removed outside of WebDriver BiDi.
• Henrik Skupin updated the WebDriver:GetElementTagName command to return the element’s qualified name.
• Henrik Skupin improved the Perform Actions command in both Marionette and WebDriver Bidi to dispatch intermediate events at more precise intervals when duration is greater than 0.
• Alexandra Borovova updated the “browsingContext.startScreencast” command to handle a screencast file creation on operating systems that don’t have a dedicated download folder.

Lint, Docs and Workflow

• The TypeScript linter has been promoted to tier-2.
  • There is no automation for the core type updates yet.
  • However, several areas have been working on support, hence the promotion to tier 2.
  • Until we get the automation in place, we will not be ready for wider roll-out, as it will be more likely that core patches will break the TypeScript reporting.

New Tab Page

• Developer experience improvement: it’s no longer necessary to create the WebPack bundles when updating New Tab JSX / SCSS files. This occurs automatically during the ./mach build [faster] step. Thanks to Nathan Barrett for his work there!
• Mike Kaply made it so that New Tab Settings honor Locked Preferences in policy by making the New Tab settings UI read and respect policy-locked preferences and disabling corresponding controls so managed/enterprise users cannot override locked prefs from the settings surface.
• Mike Conley landed a patch to address potential shutdown hangs / crashes when newtab trainhop XPIs are in the midst of being downloaded during a shutdown.
• Irene Ni made it so that we always show an add shortcut button for New Tab shortcuts when hovering the outside edge of the shortcuts area

• Irene Ni fixed some <hr> seperators that were leaking out of some containers by scoping the HR rules to the briefing-card container.
• Reem Hamoui added missing alt text/ARIA labels to the New Tab Page weather widget, restoring screen‑reader semantics for weather images in the NTP widgets.
• Jack Brown added scroll100 and scroll250 boolean metrics to the newtab ping to capture 100px/250px scroll‑depth thresholds for analytics—this is a telemetry/schema change with no UI impact.
• Scott Downe created the ‘spaces’ content layout variant for the New Tab Page, introducing an alternate DOM/CSS layout for Spaces that changes tile/content rendering and is gated by the Spaces rollout flag/pref.
• A Stocks widget is in-flight, starting with the US market

• • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] added a Markets/Watchlist dropdown to the Stocks widget on New Tab so users can switch views in-place; the dropdown selection is persisted in the widget state.
  • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] let users add default tickers to their Stocks Watchlist so new or reset users see a curated set of tickers and the add-flow now persists defaults to the watchlist storage.
  • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] added a small size to the Stocks New Tab widget, introducing a compact 1×1 Stocks tile in the Firefox New Tab Page layout so users on narrow windows or dense NTP configurations can keep Stocks visible without consuming medium/large slots.
  • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] updated the Stocks widget feed to fetch data for individual stock tickers, changing the widget network layer to per-ticker requests so added symbols get independent, timely updates and per-symbol errors are surfaced instead of breaking the entire feed.
  • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] added ticker search to find and add individual stocks, adding a search/lookup UI and add flow that calls the ticker lookup API and updates widget state/local storage so users can search, add, and immediately see new symbols on their New Tab Page.
  • Bryan Olsson added a plural selector to the Fluent string newtab-stocks-watchlist-full in the New Tab Page localization so the Stocks widget shows correct singular/plural wording for watchlist sizes across locales, fixing grammar that could confuse users when their watchlist count changes and touching the NTP stocks string bundle used by all localized builds.
• We’ve also started rolling out an experimental Privacy widget

• • Reem Hamoui changed the Privacy widget copy color to grey in the New Tab Page so the “Nightly blocks trackers as you browse. You will see them here.” text displays with correct muted contrast (2063205).
  • Reem Hamoui restored the ETP OFF state rendering in the New Tab Page privacy widget so the widget shows the actual ETP OFF status instead of misleading ‘blocks trackers’ copy for users who disable ETP (2063525).
  • Reem Hamoui applied UX fixes to the New Tab Page privacy widget to correct alignment, labels, and click-targets so users see and interact with the widget reliably and accessibility attributes behave as expected.
  • Reem Hamoui fixed the blocked-tracker count not updating after opening a new tab by ensuring the tally is recomputed on tab open (cache invalidation + UI binding refresh), restoring accurate tracker numbers in the widget.
• We’ve also started tinkering with some new layout variants
  • Here’s one such layout (widget column on left):

• • Irene Ni updated SectionsLayoutFeed’s 7-double-row-2-ad fallback to match Remote Settings so feed layout and ad fallback counts align with remote config, reducing layout mismatches and incorrect ad placements in feeds using the fallback (2063684).
  • Irene Ni implemented a carousel card type for the New Tab feed, adding slide-based card rendering and navigation hooks so users get swipeable/rotating cards in the carousel component.
  • Irene Ni deduped impressions for a carousel slide that cycles back into view, preventing duplicate impression pings when a slide reappears and improving the accuracy of telemetry/ad metrics.
• Dre cleaned up orphaned wallpapers in the wallpaper service to remove broken entries and reduce wasted storage so users no longer see missing background tiles.
• Dre uploaded new wallpaper assets to match updated margins so backgrounds render without cropping or misalignment under the new NTP layout.
• Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] fixed wallpaper attribution rendering in the Nova New Tab flow by adjusting the Nova-specific NTP component’s conditional rendering (CSS/JS) so the attribution node is not skipped when the nova feature is enabled, restoring photographer/credit metadata on New Tab pages for users on Nova-enabled desktop builds and preventing missing attribution UX.
• We’re in early days in building out the infrastructure for a Recent Searches widget
  • Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py] added a blank widget scaffold to the New Tab Page widget registry for the Search team (bug 2065011), creating a no-op/placeholder widget registration hook so the Search team can iterate on experiments without changing current NTP visuals — no immediate visible impact for end-users until the widget is populated.
• Dão Gottwald fixed an unscoped panel-item::part(button) rule that stripped the icon slot from panel-items it didn’t own, restoring missing icons in New Tab panels and preventing blank/empty buttons in the UI.
• Maxx Crawford added support for auto-minimized the New Tab widgets section after a short delay, closing expanded widgets automatically to reduce visual clutter and accidental persistent open state.
• Irene Ni implemented the Topic Navigation Strip V1 in the New Tab Page, adding a horizontal topic-nav UI in the New Tab (top-sites/topics area) that improves discoverability and lets users switch topic feeds faster.

We are excited that the 1.61 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released and available on Steam! We hope you will enjoy all the new features, which you can read about in more detail below.

With the upcoming Coaches DLC, our map and asset teams have also been making a number of changes across Euro Truck Simulator 2 to prepare the world for passenger transport. The biggest of these can be found in Nuremberg, where we have added a brand-new bus station alongside several remade and newly created landmarks in the surrounding area. Our teams have put a lot of work into bringing this part of the city to life and making sure it is ready to welcome coaches.

We have also updated the bus stations in Karlstad, Aarhus, and Thessaloniki so they are now functional with our upcoming Coaches DLC. We've also made other smaller changes, including updates to navigation, access, and layouts. 

The coach station at Karlstad has received a brand-new station building, while Thessaloniki now features new signage and other updates. In Heraklion, we have also opened up a previously inaccessible street to make room for the new bus station.

We’ve also made a number of changes to border crossings to ensure they work correctly with coaches. This included introducing vehicle-specific navigation, as well as opening up parts of border areas that were previously inaccessible to players. Border crossings across the map have also received smaller layout adjustments to help coaches follow the correct routes while keeping navigation working as expected.

Alongside these changes, we have made plenty of smaller tweaks to bus stops and their surroundings across the map. While many of these may go unnoticed, they all help make sure the existing world is ready for the arrival of Coaches.

• Proximity Exploration 
• Map changes for the upcoming Coaches DLC 

Vehicles

• Addition of the Volvo FH Series 6 100 Year Edition
• Livestock Trailer Rework 
• Schwarzmüller Trailer Pack Update 

Visual

• Improved Material System added for the Volvo FH Series 6, Volvo FH Series 5 and Volvo FH Series 4

IMPORTANT NOTES

• If your instance has many videos (local or federated) in the database, automatic migrations at next startup can take several minutes to finish. Plan for a short period of downtime during this upgrade
• You need to manually execute a migration script after upgrading, while PeerTube is running and the database migration is complete (Migrations finished. New migration version schema: 1125 in PeerTube startup logs):
  • Classic installation: cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.3.js
  • Docker installation: cd /var/www/peertube-docker && docker compose exec -u peertube peertube node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.3.js
• PeerTube requires PostgreSQL >= 14
• Comment API change: GET /api/v1/videos/{id}/comment-threads/{threadId} no longer returns the full comment tree
  • It now returns at most 10 direct replies per comment, down to 5 levels of nesting, by default
  • Each node in the returned tree now has a totalChildren field: compare it against children.length to know if replies were cut off
  • To fetch the rest, call the new endpoint: GET /api/v1/videos/{id}/comments/{commentId}/replies
  • If you're a plugin author: filter:api.video-thread-comments.list.result now sees only the truncated tree. Two new hooks, filter:api.video-comment-replies.list.params / .result, cover the new replies endpoint
• v8.3.0-rc.1 introduced a bug in the upgrade script: the database backup step fails, which stops the upgrade. To upgrade from v8.3.0-rc.1 (classic installation):
  • Replace the upgrade script with the fixed one: cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube curl -fsSL -o dist/scripts/upgrade.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/13c16ec0e80a16f3d98b6d0e2c2942c1c22513dc/server/scripts/upgrade.sh and then run the upgrade script as usual
  • Or upgrade manually: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/production.md#upgrade

IMPORTANT NOTES

⚠️ Follow v8.1.0 IMPORTANT NOTES if you upgrade from PeerTube <= v8.0.2 ⚠️

We have learned that the SQL injection vulnerability fixed in v8.1.6 has been exploited at scale since at least May 18, 2026 and so before the v8.1.6 release.
According to our investigation, the attacker exploited this SQL injection to generate a token for the root user and install the peertube-plugin-google-analytics-js plugin. This plugin imports a client script from hxxps://www.googie-anaiytics.com/jquery.ui.js that currently only logs a line in the web browser.

Actions taken by this release:

• Automatically remove peertube-plugin-google-analytics-js in v8.1.8
• Invalidate OAuth tokens in v8.1.8 (all users must log in again)
• Add a new user.disable_root_auth config key to disable root token usage
• Remove the plugin from the plugin registry

Actions taken by Framasoft:

• Report googie-anaiytics.com to the registrar
• Send a contact-form message to public PeerTube instances
• Release additional versions if we observe other attack vectors
• A CVE is being requested for the SQL injection

Actions admins must take:

• Upgrade to v8.1.8 as soon as possible
• Review newly created users and videos
• Review your instance configuration, especially Configuration -> Customization -> JavaScript/CSS
• Review installed plugins
• Generate new tokens for your runners

If you cannot upgrade to v8.1.8:

1. Remove actor follows that contain the 20.240.202.159 URL:

• Find them: SELECT * FROM "actorFollow" WHERE "url" LIKE '%20.240.202.159%'
• Delete them: DELETE FROM "actorFollow" WHERE "id" = ...

2. Remove actors that contain a ' character in inboxUrl:

• Find them: SELECT * FROM "actor" WHERE "inboxUrl" LIKE '%''%'
• Delete them: DELETE FROM "actor" WHERE "id" = ...
