Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

The existed fuzzy and all values are not able to effectively achieve the feature of fuzzy matching.

Add a new value to achieve the following feature:

  • Load all subtitles in the video directory if only one video file is loaded;
  • Load subtitles in the video directory that match season/episode in the title if a playlist is loaded.

Thank you very much.

Research direction

Start by tracing mpv's --sub-auto option handling and subtitle-loading path. Verify the requested behavior for a single video and for a playlist with season/episode matches; done means the new value loads the appropriate subtitles in both cases.
