A way to Burn in subs?

Hi! I'm a 2year old serviio user, but i've gotten tired of this small problem.

Basically i have the video file, but i don't have the subs, what annoys me is that i have to download the .srt and rename the name to the video file everytime i wanna watch a video, is there a easier way?

I know serviio can extract the the subs from the video file if it has it, but how do i make it choose Swedish language?

If so what's the language code for Sweden?

Regarding "Burning" In the subs, can serviio download the subs online so i don't have to bother downloading the subs everytime if the video file doesn't have the subs either? O.0

To work out the subtitle code, look at http://serviio.org/index.php?option=com ... icle&id=33

Use ffmpeg -i to get list of tracks, then yuse the swedish code in the console, enable Embedded subtitles (and no need to burn them in). That should work, unless the file is huge or on remote drive, which might cause it to time out.
