Hello, I'm new to XBMC but haven't seen this idea/feature discussed anywhere yet:
Is there anyway in XBMC to dynamic select whether (or which) subtitles will display based on the language of the selected audio file?
For example, if I'm playing a movie from an MKV file with an english audio track, I don't want any subtitles to display (beyond forced subs, which XBMC supports). However if I'm playing a movie with a Japanese audio track, I want English subtitles automatically enabled if available. Is this possible today or with Eden?
The Windows DirectShow splitter LavSplitter has a very clever syntax for managing these subtitle selection scenarios in DirectShow players. It would be awesome to see something similar implemented as advancedsettings.xml options in XBMC.
Edit: Added a FeatureRequest ticket for this feature. Check it out here: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12775 and comment on it if you are interested.
