Hmm, as I don't have any movie with subtitles I can only guess. I could
imagine an easy way where the sub-file has the *exact* same name as the
movie, only with the ending .sub instead of *.avi (or whatever). So the
script would look for a file with the same name as the movie, but with
the .sub ending, and if it finds one, uses it.

Anything else (e.g. asking for a file) would mean that one have to
change the mplayer plugin for VDR. That's beyond what I can do, sorry.

Cheers,
Juri
