Title: MC stopped selecting the proper external subtitle file
Post by: InflatableMouse on June 04, 2014, 12:30:31 am

MC used to select a subtitle file matching the name of video file being played but that is no longer happening.

When I have a season of episodes in a folder along with their subtitle files, MC is now selecting the first (so1e01) for every episode I select. This is a bit annoying because the names are cut off, so you can't always select the right one, I need to guess which one it is while its playing.

I'm not sure whether this is something local or not, I noticed it a couple of builds ago but didn't have the time to post a question.

Thanks.

Could you post a little more detail about what is being chosen, and what you want chosen instead?  (Filenames, etc.)

For example,

from folder \Series\Game of Thrones\Season 4\

There are files named

Game.of.Thrones.S04E01.Two.Swords.HD.TV-killers.mkv
Game.of.Thrones.S04E02.The.Lion.and.the.Rose.HD.TV-killers.mkv
Game.of.Thrones.S04E03.Breaker.of.Chains.HD.TV-killers.mkv
...
Game.of.Thrones.S04E08.The.Mountain.and.the.Viper.HD.TV-killers.mkv

Alongside these files there are subtitle files, like

Game.of.Thrones.S04E01.Two.Swords.HD.TV-killers.srt
Game.of.Thrones.S04E02.The.Lion.and.the.Rose.HD.TV-killers.srt
Game.of.Thrones.S04E03.Breaker.of.Chains.HD.TV-killers.srt
...
Game.of.Thrones.S04E08.The.Mountain.and.the.Viper.HD.TV-killers.srt

When I select the latest episode, MC always selects the first (in this case S04E01) subtitle file. When I go to subtitles, MC shows all the .srt files in that folder.

In the past, MC automatically selected the correct file corresponding to the s04e01 naming scheme but it stopped doing that for some reason.

Also, I think MC never showed files other then the ones matching the season/episode naming scheme but I'm not sure.

Game of Thrones is just an example, its happening for me with all my series, they are all named similarly though.

Gotta ask, is anyone able to reproduce?

Next build:
Changed: Sidecar subtitles will have a higher priority if the name of the sidecar exactly matches the name of the file.

I'm not certain it will work, so testing is appreciated.

Thanks Matt! I'm glad to see you're doing so well and are able to get back to what you love doing.

I'll test and let you know how it works.
