Comment (by pulkomandy):

 How is this supposed to work? The subtitles can only work if there is some
 timing information built-in, otherwise the media player has no idea when
 to show each line.

 SRT files are plain text with timing information. It seems hard to make it
 any simpler than that:
 http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/srt.html (this is what
 MediaPlayer parses)

 Are your files in a different format? Can you provide a sample file for
 testing in that case?
