Opensubtitles doesn't find anything on partially downloaded file
Free media player with support for Youtube

If the movie file is not downloaded completely, the Opensubtitles finder doesn't find anything. I assume, that is because some parameters (file size, movie length) are set wrong. It would be nice, if such parameters could be set manually or ommited.
The subtitles are searched by using a hash calculated from the file. So if the file is not complete the hash may be wrong and so it fails to find subtitles.
OK, seems reasonable. But is it possible to search on OpenSubtitles API by name?
It's possible but it's not currently implemented in smplayer.
