Configuring
SRT Cleaner will remove any entries that matches any record on its blacklist file,
located by default at ~/.config/srtcleaner/srtcleaner.conf. Create or edit it
before using srtcleaner.
A record can span over multiple lines, so use a blank line to separate each record.
Its text is matched against each SRT entry by a simple text in entry comparison,
in a case-insensitive way. So if the whole text is found as part of an entry,
the whole entry is removed from the SRT file. Escape sequences such as \n and
\t are also interpreted, so you can use \n when you want to include a newline
at the end of the text to match.
Leave the default blacklist empty for no SRT entry removal, for example when using
SRT Cleaner just for converting the SRT file encoding, otherwise SRT Cleaner might
re-create the blacklist with a basic set of records.
Example of a basic srtcleaner.conf:

Requirements

Python 2.7 or 3.6+
Pysrt, to parse the SRT files
file-magic, to detect encoding.

Note: There are (at least) 3 python modules named magic available on
PyPI, all wrappers to libmagic,
but with very distinct API:

file-magic, from libmagic project itself
python-magic
filemagic

SRT Cleaner supports any of the above libmagic wrappers, and on install pulls
the one from the file/libmagic project. And all of them obviously requires
libmagic to be installed on your system. It usually ships in the file
package and comes pre-installed in most GNU/Linux distributions and MacOS.
On Windows, the following could be used to install libmagic:

file-windows
libmagicwin64

Installing
From Git:
git clone https://github.com/MestreLion/srtcleaner
cd srtcleaner
python3 -m srtcleaner [ARGS...] # Run/Test prior to installing
pip3 install --user . # Regular install, OR
pip3 install --user --no-use-pep517 -e . # Editable/Development install

From PyPi:
pip3 install --user srtcleaner
