I have Jellyfin with some movies in it, with each having a 720p and a 1080p version. Here is my folder structure for "Movie 1":

Movie 1 (2000)

Movie 1 (2000) - 720p.mkv
Movie 1 (2000) - 1080p.mkv

I also have a subtitle file in the VTT file format, and it will only import if the name includes the quality prefix. The subtitles will only then show for the version at the same quality as the movie.

Is there a way to use a subtitle file and have it's filename without the resolution prefix? I have tried "Movie 1 (2000).vtt", but it doesn't import automatically.

(NOTE: I know that I can go into the web interface and add the subtitles through there, but I want everything nicely organized, and I want to add movies through the files ONLY, without touching the interface)
