.srt support, looks like a bug

We have a lot of movies with .srt subtitles. The Roku will play the subtitles but will skip multiple segments of the subtitles and then display the next. There doesn't appear to be any common factor for Roku skipping a subtitle entry.

For instance, the Roku will display "1" and then not display a subtitle again until "6". I can provide examples via PM or email.

1
00:03:00,632 --> 00:03:06,204
We'll know this place
because of Neelan of Mangalasheri.

2
00:03:06,432 --> 00:03:06,432
But some places are known
for their bad elements too.

3
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:10,799
There are palaces and many other
famous things in Kayamkulam...

4
00:03:14,299 --> 00:03:14,299
...But it's famous for
the thief called Kochunni.

5
00:03:16,933 --> 00:03:16,933
Yes, it's true. But what'll happen
to Neelan if he continues like this?

6
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:20,833
How long can he live on the
property his father has left for him?

7
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:26,666
There has to be an end to this.

8
00:03:27,966 --> 00:03:27,966
Last week, again, he had
a light in the village.

9
00:03:30,399 --> 00:03:30,399
l heard that he battled alone.
-What does he think of himself?

Re: .srt support, looks like a bug

Not sure if this is the problem, but a lot of your subtitles have the same start time and end time. I would think the end time should be greater then the start time.

You're right. I'll go in that direction. Thanks for looking at it.
