[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Detecting language of subtitles using its filename

[Eduardo Piombino]

Hi, I dont think its in any RFC but at least its standarized. Many hw
players like oppo bd player and phillips parse the language the way walter
stated. They recognize it from the usually 2 digits prefix immediately
before the extension. I've all my subtitles organized this way for example.
I usually have just one sub and dont really use the prefix but when I have
more than one, the additionals are prefixed this way. I think Walters
suggestion and patch is great.

Best regards.
Eduardo.
