External srt not working anymore with 1.13? (1 Viewer)

[mm1352000]

I don't agree. In my case I've the Italian as primary subtitle language and I've an [ENG] subtitle embedded and a single subtitle srt only so the there is no argue

Of course, in this case... but that is not always the situation for everybody (and maybe even some of your videos have multiple SRTs/IDXs).
...and still MP cannot know that the SRT file contains Italian unless you give it the right name.
Sorry, the behaviour is not going to be changed back.

and i have english embedded and external subtitles either in russian or in german. but i want to have subs in german only. How would MP know what language has the ext sub file? always load ext subs is not the option, as it would load russian subs also, what is not desirable.
So the approach that has MP since 1.13 is universal, as i can configure it as i want, and you too (i assume that renaming subtitle files isn't too hard )

No, it's not true. if no language has been found and there is an unique srt (one) the choice is simple. MP work for years in that way,

Think about if you have hundreds ot thousands of files in the archive (movie, series ..) without suffix.

without suffix MP should assume the external sub as primary language chosen.

My guess, MP devs will have lots of complains about this feature

btw maybe my issue problem it's that I've not the "subtitle will be auto loaded by first available". I don't understand why I've three option and not those four.

It's easy to fix with a renaming tool. Nobody expects you to rename all the files manually.

You keep kidding me (us).

This is not what I expect from MP devs that I knew in the past

I'm not kidding.

Use this:
https://bulkrename.codeplex.com/

Select your movie/video folder.
Ensure rename subfolders is ticked.
Enter ".srt" for replace "find what".
Enter "Italian.srt" for replace "replace with".
Ensure "include extension" is selected.
Click replace.
Wait...

It's really easy!

you are the first one. The rest are enjoying this feature allowing them fine-tune the subtitle loading logic.

if no language has been found and there is an unique srt (one) the choice is simple.

read my arguments. I don't want it to work the way it was before 1.13 and the way you want it. It is just wrong assumption that the subtitle file without language has the language you need. It can be true in your case, but only in your. Don't forget - there are other setups, that are (taken from responses) are more common than your.

MP work for years in that way

That's not an argument. If MP haven't had flexible logic to manage subtitles in the past - it is not the reason not to make it possible now.

There is no reason to keep assume the srt file without suffix is the native language one and enjoy the new feature when the suffix is present. (the tuning)

exactly, that's what i said also!

Is my native language was English do you think I'm writing here ?
