subtitle autedetection doesn't work #85

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a .avi file and .srt file on your pc, with the same name.
2. Open the .avi file using vlc-remote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect vlc to autodetect my srt subtitles and play them, as it does when the 
file is opened using the pc.
Instead, vlc does not detect the subtitles.

What version of VLC Remote are you using?
0.4.3

What version of VLC are you using?
1.1.10

What version of Android are you using?
2.2

Which Android device are you using?
Galaxy S

Please provide any additional information below.

I played around with vlc's http interface, and found that if you open a file 
with the full URI e.g.
  file:///data/Videos/somefile.avi
VLC does detect the subtitles and plays correctly.
If, however, you open the file with the filename only:
  /data/Videos/somefile.avi
It does NOT detect the subtitle file.

Obviously this is also a VLC bug, and there is a bug filed there. But in the 
meantime, it can also be solved in this app, by simply adding 'file://' in 
front of the filename.

Kudos for this great app by the way, it has really upgraded my living-room 
media experience.
