[MPlayer-dev-eng] REQUEST: Subtitles as URL instead of file

[Hendri Hondorp]

Hello,

I have a request for a codechange in subreader.c/mplayer. 

If a video file is located at a http/ftp URL and a subtitle 
file (with the same URL but the extension is different of course) too, 
this subtitle URL will be shown. Windows Media Player is doing it this 
way. In mplayer it is not possible to set the subtitle file using a URL, 
but only as a filename.

Can someone help me to change the code. I think it's not much work.
In 'subreader.c' before 'fd=fopen(filename,"r")' the URL needs to 
downloaded and connected to this 'downloaded temp-filename'.
