Google TV.

VLC refuses to automatically load external subtitle files (srt) which are the same name with the video file and within the same folder. Every time i open a video, i have to go through the hassle to manually select the external subtitle file. I have gone through the settings and i don't think i am missing anything. Is this the normal behavior?

On what type of folder are your files stored? Is it a SMB share?

Yes it is a Samba shared drive. The file system is ext4.

I just tried and it's working fine here. Could you please share some logs? Reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. Then share the logs with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox, pastebin...).
