Subtitle download trigger

Hello,

I've just moved to Serviio from Twonky and so far I'm loving it, I wanted to ask about subtitle downloads.

I assume subtitle check/download only triggered when I play the video for the first time. I need to stop & re-play after a while in order to see the subtitles.

If that's the case, could it be downloaded when the media files added to the library instead?

Thank you...

the subtitle is downloaded when you browse to the file. But the TV might see it only the second time is browses there. The problem with downloading it when you add the file is:

- the file may be added at a point you haven't decided to use the online subs, thus never having downloaded it
- you can change the language code of preferred subtitles


So downloading it just-in-time makes sense for most use cases.
