[External subtitles] Parsing title from filename tag

[justmeyep 5]

Hello,

I think it would be a good addition to support the display of titles when using external subtitles - just like the functionality with embedded ones.

 

Example:

Subtitle filename respectively 'GATE - S01E12 - Itami Might Bluray-1080p [sam].Awesome Title Text.default.eng.ass' & 'GATE - S01E12 - Itami Might Bluray-1080p [sam].forced.eng.ass'.

It would be great to make it possible to display the greyed out text with external subtitles as well. I know it is possible to add further information to the language tag but this will display in the upper row which will make it look very cluttered when it's longer.

The desired behaviour does already exist in Jellyfin, the same files get displayed like this:

 

I hope a change like this is possible, it would solve my last remaining concern from what I can tell now.

Thank you!
