Subtitles in dlna not requested by VLC

Related with MiniDLNA subtitle support.

Some checks after, MiniDLNA supports subtitles, but I think VLC is not asking for them to the dlna server in the proper way.

When VLC requests the contents uses the *, only the video is listed, instead using something like @id,sec:CaptionInfo,sec:CaptionInfoEx,sec:MetaFileInfo,res@resolution, quering specifically for the subtitles then they are listed with the video content. From that point would be easy support them.

Can be tested using:

curl -X POST --header "SOAPACTION: "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1#Browse"" --header "CONTENT-TYPE: text/xml;" -d @dlna_send.xml -v 192.168.2.10:8200/ctl/ContentDir > dlna_output.xml
