I'm missing the functionality to search subtitles for a movie or tv series in MP2.
In MP1 there is SubCentral which uses the SubtitleDownloader library. When you select a menu entry "subtitles", a new window shows where subs for the previously selected item are searched. You can then select a result and save it next to the file, so when playing it now shows those subs.
How can we easily incorporate this in MP2?
As a start I suggest we make a NuGet package for the SubtitleDownloader dll.
Then we need to be able to invoke a search from within the GUI and select a result. How could we best solve this for MP2? Do we include this functionality into the core or make a plugin for it? Can the plugin extend the menu for specific MediaItems (Tv Serie Episode, Movie)?
There's not much to code, because most is already solved with the SubtitleDownloader (thx to @seco), all we need to make it work in MP2 are a few configuration options, new menu entries, and a new dialog to select results. But the added benefit would be great imho. I am willing to do the coding, if we can agree on the best course to take
