Consider this file structure:
D:\Files\Example
D:\Files\Example\Example.avi
D:\Files\Example\Example.sub
in Windows Explorer, I used to be able to right-click the "Example" folder and select "Add to VLC media player's Playlist" or "Play with VLC media player", and these actions would open my example movie, and autodetect subtitles correctly.
However, since VLC 1.0.0, I am unable to do this. I've already reinstalled and tried using a fresh configuration/cache directory - nothing works unfortunately.
Subtitle detection fuzzyness seems to have no effect, no matter what I set it to (usually it is set to 3).
Can someone help me out? I'd really like the old behavior back.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Knight
P.S.: Setting VLC verbosity to 2, this is what I get:
