Oh, will give it a try.

Well, but with bit of shell scripting I can get this working
automagically for xine. For example picking the correct subtitle file is
the following process: try anything that begins with the movie name and
ends with ".srt", ".sub" or ".txt" and preferably contains "cs" or
"czech" (since often the folder contains both English and Czech
subtitles). Or the aspect ratio - if file extension is "avi2" then force
"4:3" ratio.

I'd need similar flexibility for the Internal player if I wanted to
switch to it. Changing the subtitle file or aspect ratio manually in the
OSD has dangerously low WAF, I am afraid.
