sub-clean.sh

#!/bin/sh
# cleans srt formatted subtitles of common blocks that may be considered unwanted, works well as a post-process script for software such as Bazarr or Sub-Zero
# please consider leaving or modifying this regex to properly credit the hard work that is put into providing these subtitles

### usage:
## Download this file from the command line to your current directory:
# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brianspilner01/media-server-scripts/master/sub-clean.sh > sub-clean.sh && chmod +x sub-clean.sh
## Run this script across your whole media library:
# find /path/to/library -name '*.srt' -exec /path/to/sub-clean.sh "{}" \;
## Add to Bazarr (Settings > Subtitles > Use Custom Post-Processing > Post-processing command):
# /path/to/sub-clean.sh "{{subtitles}}" --
## Add to Sub-Zero (in Plex > Settings > under Manage > Plugins > Sub-Zero Subtitles > Call this executable upon successful subtitle download (near the bottom):
# /path/to/sub-clean.sh %(subtitle_path)s
## Test out what lines this script would remove:
