Description
mplayer *avi -sub 'subtitles/Grand_bleu,_Le_(1988)-1.pl.srt'
Cannot load subtitles: subtitles/Grand_bleu
Cannot load subtitles: _Le_(1988)-1.pl.srt
The file naming scheme is IMO quite useful, because it matches the titles used
in IMDb. Unfortunately, comma seems to be a builtin separator, and I couldn't
find a way to play such files.
My proposal is to change the default separator to colon ':' (which is contrary
to comma very rarely used in filenames, and on some filesystems it's even
impossible to use), and for backward compatibility add checking in case user
specifies '-sub file1,file2' if these are in fact two files or a one file with
comma in it.

I notice something wrong with comma filenames when using
mplayer -ao pcm:file="Musicfilename,01.wav" filename.ogg
"" and \ escaping is not supported here :-(
With current CVS you can use %20%Musicfilename,01.wav here (see the start of the
man page for a desciption of this syntax

I have exactly the same problem, when trying to run:
# mplayer movie.avi -sub "s,ub.srt"
mplayer tries to read two subtitle files s and ub.srt
I also tried s\,ub.srt and 'su,b.srt' :-(

I think this bug is fixed, you use wrong syntax,
try "s\,ub.srt" or 's\,ub.srt' or s
,ub.srt
I notice something wrong with comma filenames when using
mplayer -ao pcm:file="Musicfilename,01.wav" filename.ogg
when using this, the file name "Musicfilename" gets written to instead of
"Musicfilename,01.wav", I also tried using an escape '\' before the comma.
