I want to configure a tool so that I can just call with a movie as an argument and automatically download the appropriate english subtitle by file hash or name. I recall I had something configured like that but now I don't remember what was the tool I used.

In VLC, i use this extension called VLSub. It downloads subtitles from opensubtitles.org by hash or by name of the movie

Not exactly what you are asking but have you tried https://www.bazarr.media/

You can automate and forget about it

Maybe you are thinking of Subliminal which works by calling GuessIt to identify the video and then tries to find and download subtitles from various sources. There are plugins to use it automatically from mpv and probably other players too.

Edit: looks like most of the providers are broken so this doesn't work very well anymore.

You'd expect MPV was published by MIT or Bell Labs in late 1970's because it is so good, can do literally anything while remaining lightweight. But no, it is released in August 2013.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
