#13 Recognize subtitle language by filename, not frequency of characters
Hello,
While recognizing subtitle language by frequency of characters is fine and usually works, sometimes it can fail, so it would be useful to add an option to explicitly specify the language of a srt file.
The way I do it, and it works with VLC 2.2.0 (latest version), is naming the subtitles in this way: MOVIE_NAME.lang.srt, lang being the three-letter bibliographic ISO 639.2 code (reference list here, when given two options in the ISO 639.2 column, the bibliographic one is the first). Something like that would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot!
