The need for a custom column or template is what has stopped me from doing this. I haven't wanted to add to many things like that. I keep thinking about updating the rest of the metadata in the driver. If I do that, it wouldn't be putting the full set of options that he plugin has. It would be all or nothing, but still with series separate. The main reason for hesitating on this is how much time it might take each time the device connected.

The alternative would be to add an option to the utilities plugin to run the metadata update automatically on connect. If I did that, I would have the full configuration the update function has, but as a separate copy of the options. That way you could update just the subtitle automatically, but when using the manual process, use separate choices.
