After figuring out how to access the subtitles menu (my remote.conf was from 1.4.x series so there was no button binding for it), yes, I do see an entry named "57" there. Selecting it gives me the Finnish subtitles I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
You could also map "57" to "fin" in info.vdr of all those old recordings and afterwards VDR automatically selects subtitles according to preferred languages.
I tried to do that, but did not succeed so far.
The old recordings I tried this with had no "X" lines in info.vdr, but they do have this selectable "57" entry in the subtitles menu. New recordings from the same channel (MTV3 Scifi) have both "X 3 03 fin " and "X 3 03 sve " there, and Finnish subtitles do show up automatically when replaying these.
So I tried "X 3 03 fin ", "X 3 57 fin ", and "X 57 03 fin " in the old recordings' info.vdr but that did not seem have any effect. Tried also touching .update and restarting VDR in between, as well as replacing 57 with 39 and 87 (just in case there would have been a dec<->hex conversion somewhere). "SubtitleLanguages = fin 57" hack in setup.conf didn't help either. Did I miss something?
