distinguish subtitles: human vs auto-generated/transcribed #7752

Description

@drzraf

Describe the problem to be solved

subtitles/captions have no "metadata": only their corresponding language is stored.
This implies limitations:

  1. Can't tell whether a given language has been done manually or resulted from transcription/auto-generation
  2. Can't define which one is the original vs translations (derivated/translated from the original or not)

When dealing with hundreds of videos/subtitles (some are original, others transcribed, other translated and/or translated from a transcription), it becomes difficult to order/prioritize which ones must be associated/updated for a given video.

Describe the solution you would like

I wish this kind of metadata could be added to subtitles model and the API updated in consequence.

A multi-audio stream perspective could help tackling this problem in a future-proof way.
