I d/l a new .srt from subscene, add it to the same folder as the BD, and name the srt same as BD.
New sub is not available using PowerDVD since it is not in the actual BD menu and PDVD is essentially a disc player in file format in this case.
However, it is selectable using Kodi from the audio menu and working correctly since Kodi is looking at all the data in the folder and not just the BD iso.
Not sure what benefit the add-on offers?
No need to select (by wife or kids, systemadmin (you?) needs to do it once), easy when 1 sub in directory. Possible to get automatically correct sub for each tv episode on the iso.
More things that are not related to subs...
Maybe you could elaborate a little bit....
At the moment I have a working BETA version as standalone (= proof of concept).
Things possible (with the current beta addon) :
- can set default audio and subtitle streams (usefull when kodi shows 'Unknown' as language)
- the wife and kids will never see the "select playback item" to choose the correct .mpls file from again
- give each episodes on the bluray a scrapeable entry and each can have its correct external .srt file
- tv-shows that are 1 big 4 hour video can be cut into parts so you can scrape them as if they are seperate mkv episodes, and each can have the correct .srt file
- give a theatrical and a directors cut different directories for Kodi to scrape (from 1 iso,no need to copy the iso and double the needed space)
- show or not show the "previously on tv-show..." intro before each episode (some people like it, some not)
- with screenpass, input the correct .mpls file once, and you have never to to this again
- use the video extras addon to access all the extras on the bluray iso

Yes, this is at the moment possible.
My goal is to EMULATE the blu-ray menu (current addon) and (in the future) have a scraper that would get this info automatically.
1 person would enter correctly all relevant info for each language on the bluray disc.
For instance a disc (in Europe) that is the same for Germany, France and the Netherlands would contain for the same movie:
- Common video stream
- original audio track (eg english)
- dubbed french audio track
- dubbed german audio track
- german subtitles
- french subtitles
- dutch subtitles
many extras
Now one dutch, french and german person would do the hard work of creating an xml file with in this file audio, subtitle and other info
German person
- correct .mpls file
- with original (english audio and german subs)
- with dubbed (german audio)
French person
- correct .mpls file (normally the same, but for some (eg Disney animations) can this differ)
- with original (english audio and french subs)
- with dubbed (french audio)
Dutch person
- correct .mpls file
- with original (english audio and dutch subs)
- no dubbed version
They would also do the same for all extras.
Then this info would be send to a server, so that the next german, dutch or french guy doesn't have to do this for this disc.
Each disc can be identified by it's 'id.bdmv' file or better, by it's 'unit_key_ro.inf' file.
Copying the info into the xml file so the addon can emulate the bluray menu would be a community effort (you need the original discs for this, so I can at best only do those that I have...)
I use .strm files. To get streamdetails (Kodi can not) I use mediainfo (I can with mediainfo even see if the iso has a truehd or atmos track, but at the moment this is useless because skin support is needed to display this).
For some things I've hit a wall...
Look at the thread for my addon to see some screenshots...
