Subtitles in subdirectory with relative path

[nicholsonscn]

Hello,
I have a video file (.mkv) with subtitles (.srt). If I have the subtitle file in the same directory as the video file, the subtitles show up correctly.
However, I am having difficulty getting them to show up if the subtitles are in a subdirectory.

If I go to Preferences - Show All
and then go to Video / Subtitles/OSD
There is an option called: Subtitle autodetection paths

If I put an absolute path to the subtitles directory, then they show up fine. However if I have a relative path there they do not (e.g. /home/myuser/video/subtitles works but ./subtitles does not)

Is there some other setting I need to allow support for relative paths?

Thank you,
Shawn
