Easy trick how to use external PGS (BD sup) subtitles.

So it seemed for years that the HiMedia Player doesn't support external PGS (BD sup) subtitles, just the embedded ones. You just can't select it inside the HiMedia Player if it has the filename extension .sup (as it originally would be) as it's not recognized and won't even show up on the list.

But if you just rename the file extension to .ass, than the HiMedia Player will recognize it (as External PGS) and it's working just like the embedded PGS sup's would, without any problem, so even the special font style formatting remains as it should be.

For me it's a huge relief, as I used to like and use my own, specially styled PGS subtitles and from now, I don't have to mux them every time in the video file before playback.
