[BRLTTY] Subtitles, mplayer, and BRLTTY

[Rob]

You can extract subtitles using ffmpeg; they show up as a stream. What you get is a .srt file that has time codes and the actual subs themselves. Reading this, however, is a bit awkward because it doesn't update in real time since you're viewing it in an editor. Plus you have to skip over all  the time and frame codes which can get tedious.
Is there a way to get something like mplayer to display the subs in a real text line at the bottom of the screen that brltty can follow, while the movie plays?
