Subtitile problems.

[Gavin Lucas]

Hmmm.  Just gave it a quick go and I get subtitles, but no picture.  The
subtitiles also just get overwitten rather than the new subtitle replacing
the old one.  I think I'll need to spend a bit more fiddling.....

It would be good if this gets fixed because apart from this problem, it's
working really well for me.  Unfortunatlely very few of the films I like are
in English and I really don't like dubed versions so subtitiles are
important to me.

Ta,

Gavin.
