Sentry Crash Report:

Description Peter 2023-06-06 22:15:13 UTC 
SUMMARY
If there is a video file named video.mkv without an internal subtitle packaged into it and the folder also contains a file named video.srt, Haruna does not automatically load video.srt and make it available to the player's track selectors. It is required for the user to manually go through the menu and then the external file portal dialog to select the subtitle file before it becomes available.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play an mkv video without subtitles in the mkv but have a srt file in the same folder as the mkv named the same.

OBSERVED RESULT
No subtitle track is available.

EXPECTED RESULT
The external srt file named the same as the video should have been automatically picked up and loaded without requiring user intervention to select the file by hand.

Works for me. Make sure  video and subtitle names are actually the same, check for spaces.
Otherwise provide sample video and subtitle files.

I figured out what triggers the issue.

If you play the video file directly from a SMB network share, Haruna doesn't seem to look in the SMB folder the video is playing from to check if there is a subtitle file.

If you copy the video file and the srt file from the SMB network share to the local drive and then play it, it sees and uses the subtitle file.
