What does this mean? Could you explain please.

Why not? If someone wants to have a good subtitle file which has
correct timing then he must sometimes correct it by himself.
Searching manually through the file to find a bad line
is time consuming and should be up to the computer.
MPlayer knows which lines have bad timing so it can display
a message while it corrects them internally during loading.

Why it is a warning? Because warning means that something is not
correct here but we could go over it. Same as a compiler warnings.
If all is proper there is no warnings at all.
What is broken in this logic?

Anyway I can change the mentioned patch if you insist.
This menans only that as MPlayer displays only number of corrected
subtitles normaly so to obtain additional info to have knowledge about
which are bad line numbers one must start the player again with appropriate
option. So more time spent by a user. It's rather inconvenient.
That is all and nothing more.

Regards
