srt-validation

srt-validation aims to be a small and simple command-line utility that scans subtitles in SRT format and checks for various errors. This is accomplished by reading a file and checking for the following:

1. Number of characters per line;
2. Number of lines for each subtitle;
3. Checking for overlapping subtitles;
4. Checking for mismatched tags;
5. Checking for missing empty lines after a subtitle.
