Subtitles Problem - the saga - Is it broken?

[pw44]

Hya,
i do need subtitles support, and got a suggestion to rename the srt file.
I have Avatar.avi and Avatar.srt, and according to the suggestion i symlinked the Avatart.srt to Avatar.avi.srt.
Did not work.
Renamed Avatar.srt to Avatar.avi.srt.
Did not work.
Please, is there a way to use subtitles?
Could one of the developers give me some hint in how to make it work, because in the file /etc/pluto/xine.conf. i've found:
# Subtitle autoloading
# bool, default: 1
#gui.subtitle_autoload:1
As i understand, the default should be autoloading subtitles, but it does not.
I tryed to uncoment the line gui.subtitle_autoload:1, hopping it could help, but no effect.
Is there a way to make it work, or would it be better to download the whole source tree and try to find out where to fix it?
TIA
Paulo
