To get Subliminal working on your Qnap Nas you should login to your NAS by SSH(for example you can use Putty for this).

Create a directory under: "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg" called "Subliminal" (without the quotes).

After this pull the Subliminal source by using git(the script uses Subliminal/subliminal as directory for this): "git clone https://github.com/Diaoul/subliminal.git"

You can install Subliminal yourself by running: "python setup.py install" from the subliminal directory.

If you get "error: /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages (in --site-dirs) is not on sys.path" then you can fix this by using the following command: "export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages". After this you have to run the subliminal install command again and no error should show up this time.

After this create the startup script in the Subliminal package root(/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Subliminal)

The script can be downloaded here.

The arguments can be modified and the path to your tv show/movie directory must be changed. From default it's downloading dutch and english subtitles and only scans files from the last 8 weeks. Logging is enabled(see "/share/MD0_DATA/Download/Subliminal_log.txt")  and the log file is removed on every startup

To see Subliminal as a qpkg in the app center and make it start on qnap startup automatically you have to add a new qpkg to the qpkg.conf(can be found in "/etc/config/qpkg.conf").

I'm using the following code:

[Subliminal]
Name = Subliminal
Enable = FALSE
Version = Newest
QPKG_File =
Date = 2013-12-02
shell = /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Subliminal/Subliminal.sh
Install_Path = /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Subliminal
Author = Christian
RC_Number = 134

Now everything is ready and you can start Subliminal from the app center on your qnap. From now on you will always have the latest subtitles.
