For people who's native language is not English pretty common situation where you download episode with English subs in container and then download translated subtitles in .ass or .srt format usually.
Most desktop video players prioritise external subtitles over internal which seems logical because usually user will manually place external subtitles near video with internal subs for a good reason, in my case: native subs over English.
However XBMC gives priority to internal subtitles, which is a bit frustrating to manually switch to external subs each time.
My suggestion is either change default XBMC's behaviour to give priority to external subtitles over internal, or make this an option, either in UI or advancedconfig.xml.
