Autodetect subtitles fuzziness broken?

Tested in:
vlc-0.8.6-svn-20060617-0000-win32
vlc-0.8.4a-win32

As far as I can tell, the fuzziness is broken. I want to use level 4, but can't seem to get it to work in the latest nightly. I works fine in 0.8.4a though.

An example. Say you have these four files:

Movie cd1.avi
Movie cd1.srt
Movie cd2.avi
Movie cd2.srt

And then we play "Movie cd2.avi". VLC will now autodetect both "Movie cd1.srt" and "Movie cd2.srt" as "Track 1" and "Track 2" respectively, but will use "Track 1", which is the wrong file, so you have to press "K" once for it to switch to the right one.

Another SRT file in the folder called say "Another Movie cd1.srt" (i.e. with some prefix) is not autodetected however.

It seems as if it is the final number in the filename that does it somehow. If we rename our files like this:

Movie one.avi
Movie one.srt
Movie two.avi
Movie two.srt

Then when we play "Movie two.avi" only the correct SRT file will be detected with level 4, as it should be.

Is this some sort of new feature? A new fuzziness level perhaps?

On another note, I love then new autoenable feature though!

Hmm... strange...
I will have a look and see if I can fix it.

I found the bug, and this should now be fixed.
Thank you for reporting. :wink:
