“-sub-fuzziness 1” auto-load problem with external *.idx + *.sub subtitle pair.

[Hakan]

According to the Mplayer docs, the -sub-fuzziness 1 Loads all subs containing movie name.

-sub-fuzziness 1 and -sub-fuzziness 2 did not auto-load *.idx + *.sub subtitle pair for below video file (no problem with text based subtitles *.srt etc.).

Movie.mp4
Movie.eng.idx
Movie.eng.sub

When I renamed the subtitles as below, -sub-fuzziness 1 detected subtitles automatically;

Movie.mp4
Movie.idx
Movie.sub

It seems that Mplayer expects file name of *.idx + *.sub subtitles exactly as video file name and ignores the -sub-fuzziness value.

Thank you.

vobsubs are a completely different thing to MPlayer at least.
They are not affected by autosub/noautosub either.
Part of the reason is that there is no support for more than one vobsub subtitle, so loading "all subs containing name" doesn't really work either.

OK, Thank you.
