When I download a video file from a torrent site or other, there’s always a subs folder containing the subtitle files, but Plex only looks in the parent folder. This means I need to move the files from the subs folder into the main folder (and rename it, sometimes). If I download an entire season of a TV show, this means I have to move a file up to 24 times per season of a show. There are clunky scripts available that people have written to move these files for me, but you still have to run the script and point it at the parent folder each time.
Shouldn’t it be relatively easy for someone to go in and change the service to look in either all the folders for .srt files, or look for a folder named “subs” in particular, to find subtitle files?
