Add support external subtitles and audio

[alexeynl]

Many torrent releases contains not only media files in mkv format but also subtitles and sound in external files. These files have the same name as media files so it can be easily mapped such way.

This is example of most popular file structure for such releases:

Example 1.

Title Folder
--Title Name S1 - 01.mkv
--Title Name S1 - 02.mkv
...
--Title Name S1 - 12.mkv
----Subs Subfolder
------Title Name S1 - 01.ass
------Title Name S1 - 02.ass
------Title Name S1 - 03.ass
...
------Title Name S1 - 12.ass
----Sounds Subfolder
------Title Name S1 - 01.mka
------Title Name S1 - 02.mka
------Title Name S1 - 03.mka
...
------Title Name S1 - 12.mka

Example 2.

Title Folder
--Title Name S1 - 01.mkv
--Title Name S1 - 01.ass
--Title Name S1 - 02.mkv
--Title Name S1 - 02.ass
--Title Name S1 - 03.mkv
--Title Name S1 - 03.ass
...
--Title Name S1 - 12.mkv
--Title Name S1 - 12.ass

Real world examples:

Subtitles files in the same directory as mkv
Subtitles files in subdirs of mkv

Could you make these playable in webtor as distinct stream so that user can choose audio and subtitles during main media (mkv) playback?

Hi! Currently it is supported but with subtitles on the same directory level. You can just check demo https://webtor.io/08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10

What is a right place to report about playback issue. I have deployed self-hosted docker container and can provide you examples, diagnostics and logs.
