Subtitle language for .sub files

Hi,

if the subtitles are in a subfolder (like "subs") filebot can't guess the language for .sub because it searches for the .idx in the folder of the .mkv file. If understand the detectSubtitleLanguage function MediaBindingBean.java correctly.

Maybe this function should search for the .idx in the same folder as the .sub file.

thx

Don't use .idx / .sub bitmap subtitles. I can't be bothered with maintaining support for relics-of-the-past file types.

I agree, I deleted all instances of .sub/.idx files from my NAS. SRT FTW !

Also, .sub files can take up quite some space. I downloaded a movie once that had a 300MB .sub file... Total was 4-5GB worth of .sub files on my system.

Ok thanks for the hint that this is an old format.
