Only download subtitles that are a perfect match for video files - d03j - 2024-03-18

I searched the forum to check if this had been asked before and I don't think it has.

How does the "Only download subtitles that are a perfect match for video files" option on library management work? Is it based on the file name, hash, or something else? I ask because I normally rename my files to something like "title.(year).[tmdbid-xxxx]" or "series.title.[tmdbid-xxxx]/series.title.-.SxxExx.-.episode.title", so if based on file name it won't really work.

The OpenSubtitles plugin computes a hash of the file and compares it to a hash returned from their API

Does it create a hash for each audio stream?
