Can you add sources that include no subtitles or translations?

Hey @koona3 , can you explain better your point? Thanks :)

The current Episode object retrieves the video from 3 different sources I believe but they include subtitles at the bottom of their video (excluding dub I think). It would be a nice feature if there was a source that has the raw Japanese video without the subtitles.

The scope of AniAPI is to serve episodes with a specific localization. Firstly because we do not write subtitles, which are embedded inside video source. Also, because raw episodes would not be useful.

If you provide me a good point of view about that, i will think on it.

It would make the API more flexible, it can make it easier to import your own subtitles in without it overlapping others and if the localizations don't suit the user's goals or the user doesn't want to use any of them, he can import his own subtitles.

They all use torrents though.
