The process used to be almost automatic.
When you're playing a clip (episode, movie..), open subtitles menu.
The last-used service is automatically searched using the Python plugin
code.
At this point, the list of matching subtitles would already show up.

Right now, this point just returns "No subtitles found" and the only
thing to do is to click "Manual search string" and enter the series name
and season/episode numbers.

Sounds like the md5 hash had nothing to do with it since the hash
algorithm is different.. but somehow Kodi used to be aware of the name
of the show and episode info.. and now it's not
