Full Version: Change how temp pvr files are named

Hello,
I've been trying to use the subtitle add-on on the IPTV Simple Client while watching videos on demand (M3U list).
So, I tried the AutoSubs add-on and it works. The issue is that it never automatically finds the movie/episode name, instead it finds something like pvr.iptvsimple_1880954961.pvr.
I'm not a developer, but I was looking through the AutoSubs git and it seems that it's using the function getPlayingFile() to get the movie/episode name.
I'm guessing that the Subtitle Add-on is also using the same function and as I'm watching VOD, the IPTV Simple Client is probably setting a local temp file named pvr.iptvsimple_1880954961.pvr and that's why the Subtitle Add-on never finds a subtitle.
Should it be possible to change IPTV Simple Client to set the temp file name as it shows in the M3U properties?

Thanks.
