Automatically detect and display external subtitles

Problem

Available external subtitles are not automatically detected and displayed by the app when playing a video file.

Proposal

When start playing a video, check if there are any external subtitle file(s) available in the same folder and with the same file name (but with different extension) and automatically display them when playback starts.

Prior Art

VLC will automatically open and play external subtitle files that are in the same folder as the played video and which filename matches the video file.
