I’d like to be able to select appropriate local media subtitle file BEFORE I actually begin to play the episode ie: at the screen that describes an episode and allows me to select from automatically detected subtitles, I’d like an option to link a particular subtitle file to that episode so that I don’t have to start the episode, access the bottom of window controller, navigate to the appropriate area for subtitle file selection then continue with playing that episode. I’d like to be able to assign a file of subtitles in the same place where I can edit the episode’s description etc. and have that choice retained in the metadata. Thanks for a great product. ---
