Allow setting default subtitle language #29

Open flagg19 opened 6 years ago

In reference to https://github.com/Xonshiz/anime-dl/issues/26

...the default subtitle language is hard-coded as English, can it be turned into a new script parameter?

Can't the preferred subtitle language just be set in your player, such as VLC, though I do see the inconvenience if English isn't your primary language. I set English as my default subtitle language in all my video players to avoid this issue.

Xonshiz commented 6 years ago

Yes, it can be done. But, it also depends on whether the language of the subtitle has been set or not. With anime-dl, most (if not all) subs have the language set. This feature requests wants to set the default language, so as to play default subs on the other players as well. More like a universal setting.

This would also be cool for plex users. As a german - using this - i mostly set the Library Language to english in order to enjoy conistent show-titles fetched from thetvdb.com - however - now even including an english subtitle will always yield an english sub although there's a german sub available. So - excluding all but a certain language would be pretty cool.
