hi there,
i noticed that kodi 16, when i play a video, opens all the compressed files (zip and rar, for what i see) looking inside for subtitles that can be applied to the video. if the video is in a directory with compressed files this search sometimes requires a lot of time (depending on the number or size of the compressed size or the performance of the system) even if none of said compressed files contains subtitles appliable for the video.
i reckon it would be better if
1 kodi automatically tried to open compressed files that only have the same name of the video and disregard the others
2 you could configure (in settings or an xml configuration files) which extensions it should try to open
if i have compressed subtitles with an extension that i excluded in 2 or with a filename that is not recognized as pertinent in 1, i could always manually browse to the compressed archive and select the subtitles i need.
thanks a lot for your work
