(*) Load Divx Subtitle

+ By Name
The subtitles file(s) must be named like the movie. (Ex. movie.avi - movie.srt)
The firmware works this way by default.

+ All
All subtitles files, in the same folder as the movie, will be loaded.
You must select correct subtitles file by pressing the SUBTITLE button. 
This is not good option, if you have a lot of TV series in a same folder.

+ By Name or All
This option combines both above-mentioned options.
First, it will try to find all subtitles that matches the movie name and
will load only these subtitles. If there isn't any subtitles that matches the
movie name, all subtitles will be loaded.

Notes
1) When you change this setting, restart the movie
2) Max number of subtitles that the firmware can load is 10
3) IDX/SUB subtitles still needs to be named like the movie
