Improve subtitle handling when passed in Intent
VLC permanently links subtitles to video files as soon as they are passed in an Intent or selected via the UI. This has the effect that third-party apps have no possibility to make VLC play a video without a subtitle after they once passed VLC an Intent that contained the subtitle.
This is a particular problem considering most subtitles lead to application exit when played with ts files in the current version of VLC.
I suggest one of these solutions:
- Add an intent option to allow third-party apps to explicitly disable the subtitle for a video file they want to play
- Don't link subtitles to a video file if they were passed via an Intent from a third-party app
- Add an intent option to tell VLC whether a passed subtitle should be permanently linked to the video file or not
Thanks for all your efforts to constantly improve VLC. It really is the best media player available for Android!
