And when it tries to load subtitles and says not found, what filename
does it show? Probably Hero.srt!! Which means the fact that you're
using a . in the 'base name' is confusing MPlayer. It would have been
much easier to determine this if you had sent a full bug report, and
I'm still just guessing since I don't see the full MPlayer output in
your email. If this actually is the problem, someone should look into
fixing it...
