VLC and OpenSubtitles downloader

I've recently found a nice VLC script for adding subtitles to any video using the great OpenSubtitles portal on this VLC Forum post. Such script does exactly what it sais: it crawls the OpenSubtitles website looking for the matching movie (no osdb hash function involved) and adds the subtitle into the VLC media player.

I've edited such LUA script (so, I'm not the original author of such script) also allowing the subtitle downloading for an off-line usage, the downloaded file is placed in the same movie folder, renamed as the movie itself with the language suffix. It's my first attempt into LUA scripting language, it's quite easy, but I've used about 3 hours to find out all the LUA features and the (sometimes not documented) VLC scripting functions.

Please try it out, comments are welcome!
