Description
Congrats for the 1st release!
I feel like I might be a bother by opening an issue for this specific thing. However,
I wanted to ask if adding a subtitle selector to the player is planned. Most of what I watch relies on subtitles, but right now a lot of my media either plays without any subtitles at all or defaults to the original language, with no way to switch tracks during playback.
Having a button in the player to choose between available subtitle tracks would make a huge difference. Thanks for the work on this app!

Research direction
Start by locating the desktop video player UI and the playback code that handles available media tracks. Add a player control for choosing among available subtitle tracks, including changing the track during playback, and verify that media with multiple subtitle languages can switch successfully.
