I am from a non-English country, and I used to collect the subtitles of English as well as my native language almost for every movie. In recent years, a growing number of subtitle files are in the form of ".sup" as they are demuxed from BD sources.
At present, kodi only support internal sup subtitles and doesn't support the external ones. Thus, the external sup files need to be muxed with the main media file just to make them can be played by kodi, almost every time. Such a mux work may take tens of minutes, especially for the intact BD sources with large sizes. Moreover, the original materials, i.e., main media files, external subtitle files and external audio files, need to be kept for potential version updating.
It would be wonderful if kodi supports external sup subtitles as srt/idx/sub ones directly.
