Hi

A short introduction
HeadWeb is an online movie rental site, available in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Along with their movies, they offer subtitles for most of them. Normally they are available in all four languages.

Issue at hand
The subtitles are in some kind of XML-format, but the source seems to be SRT-based (judging from the source..)

I'm currently looking into the options of doing a plugin for MediaPortal with the above features.

Example below:
http://img4.headweb.com/subtitles/131054_1004.xml

1. Which subtitles formats can I expect MediaPortal to support?
2. Would the internal player allow me to a) download the subtitle and strip the XML, leaving a well-formed SRT file in a directory and b) load this file into the player?

The SRT format is really simple, so a little code-stripping with the mentioned files, should enable me to pass a usable format to the player:

Take this format

And convert it to this format

But I need to save it locally and load it into the player...
