Re: srt files in videoplayer example.

this is really unfortunate due to the new FCC ruling. http://gigaom.com/video/closed-captions-fcc-ruling/

Roku have already said that they will support subtitles for all video formats before that ruling goes fully into effect.
Of course, if you're using the roVideoPlayer, there's technically no reason you couldn't add subtitle support yourself before then.
