Requesting custom search query for subtitle searches

As of now the emby player when searching for subtitles searches by the file name. This is very inconvenient. There can be a lot of noise in file names. 

 

Plex allows the user to modify the search query and so does the external player I use. I find it very strange UI/UX-wise that I cannot do this.

Hi, we send multiple search criteria and it matches them all, including the file hash, imdb id, the title from emby, and the file name.

Implementing what feature? We already have information in the database about the media item. Why is that not sufficient to locate subtitles with?

Because this doesn't mean they were necessarily implemented properly on OpenSubtitles' website even if they are setup on Emby's end.

With a search query based on an editable string, I can.
