Thanks!
I do have subtitles with different extensions (such as .srt etc). I
modified your script to search for these too, and pass the first
subtitle file found to xine. Works like a charm!
//Simon
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
SUB=`echo $FILE | awk -F. '{print $1}'`
SUBT=`find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -and \( -name $SUB.sub -or -name
$SUB.srt \) | head -n 1`
/usr/bin/xine -pfhq --no-logo --no-splash -V xv $FILE#subtitle:$SUBT
