Description

Research direction
Start with the referenced node-opensubtitles-client examples, especially lib/Downloader.js, bin/subtitler.bin.js, and examples/searchFileSub.js. Trace how playback currently handles a filename and subtitles, then integrate filename-based online searching so matching subtitles can be downloaded and used. Done means subtitles are automatically found, available for download, and usable in playback.
