SRT file naming

[BillOatman 596]

I have 2 external SRT files. One for hard of hearing people and one with just forced.  Both in english. What do I name the files to allow either to be selected?

And is it possible to make the forced one be the default?

Yes, as SDH attribute is recognized only from beta 4.8.0.49 onwards, in previous versions subs will be displayed without that flag.

<moviefilename>.en.ext

(additionally <moviefilename>.en.sdh.ext for future-proofing)

<moviefilename>.en.forced.ext

In user settings>Subtitles, set Subtitle Mode to "Default".

Great stuff thanks.  I saw a forced only option in subtitles and that works without the default in the filename.

The names are:

 

And it shows:


Can I get it to show English sdh?

Hm, it eventually will in 4.8.

 

But for now, try experimenting with:

<moviefilename>.en.english.sdh.ext

<moviefilename>.en.english sdh.ext

See what gives.
