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?

Should be reopened.
