Is it possible to let VidCoder pick up more than one external soft subtitle automatically?

Feature details

When you add soft subtitles manually, they are being added to final file and just play fine.

Example:

Add a MKV file to VidCoder:

Testserie (Testseries) S01x01 Der Titel (The Title).mkv

and add external subtitles from the same directory:

Testserie (Testseries) S01x01 Der Titel (The Title).deu.srt Testserie (Testseries) S01x01 Der Titel (The Title).eng.srt

(The subtitles are called similiar to video file)

Now, a soft subtitle recognition for batch encoding would be helpful. What do you think?

Such a feature would need to automatically determine the language from the sub-extension there. Is it common to have the three-letter ISO abbreviation there?

Thank you for considering. Three-letter ISO abbreviation would be preferable!

@AlexJCarstensen had this idea here already.

It's a real PITA having to encode hundreds of files with two soft subtitles when only one ss is being recognized, but I understand if it is a struggle to implement that. Thanks for looking into it.
