I have no experience in python or addon developing but I know a bit java.
What I'm trying to do is to list the srt files of a directory and by select in one of them to add the subtitle to the video or stream is currently playing. Very similar behaviour as "search for subtitle" option in sound/subtitles setting. I've managed until now, after a lot of trial and error and searching in wiki and google, to display the list with the srt files. I used the video addon tutorial as base and this is my code so far:

Code:

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()
addonname = addon.getAddonInfo('name')

addon_handle = int(sys.argv[1])

xbmcplugin.setContent(addon_handle, 'videos')

mypath="/media/videos/subs/"
dir = os.listdir(mypath)
listing = []
for files in dir:
        if files.endswith(".srt"):
                li = xbmcgui.ListItem(files, iconImage='DefaultAddonSubtitles.png')
                listing.append((mypath, li))
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(addon_handle, listing, len(listing))
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(addon_handle)

How now can I add the subtitle from the list to video which playing?

Why do you need an addon for that? There's "Browse for subtitles..." option in Audio Settings dialog that allow you to set arbitrary subtitles for the current video.

Yes, I know that. Because I would like to have access to a specific folder with one click. And also is a motive to learn about python and addon developing.

You can use something like:

player = XBMCPlayer()
player.setSubtitles(fileName)
