As title says. Enable use of external subtitles in .sub (MicroDVD) format.

Here is some code for converting SSA -> SRT and SUB -> SRT.

It works in memory but may be written to a new srt file.

did you write it yourself? some TVs support these formats natively, it's just a matter of the right mime-type but I guess a gateway All_to_srt might be useful.

Also i think FFmpeh will have libssa (or whatever is the name) included that supports converting all to ssa nand will be used for burning the subs in the stream in the ssa format

Yep based on this thread : http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3859&hilit=mkv#p37626 and some sample files.

Because subtitles are very small text files, conversion is really fast.

I know some TV supports them natively (we need to list these devices) but this could be a feature for others.

Don't know much about libssa, but I think it only works for burning ssa subtitles.
