Seems like the algo to detect the name of possible subtitle files is
confused by the very short name of your video.
So you can use --no-sub-autodetect-file or increase the value of
--sub-autodetect-fuzzy (or in the preferences in video/subtitles and
select advnaced options in the bottom right corner)
