MediaPortal Version: 1.2.3
Description
I started getting this error when playing a specific video file. I have several plugins installed and the error message doesn't give much clue of what the problem is. After clicking OK the video plays normally however I did not get any subtitles displayed. Turns out the .srt file was missing a decimal.
The error message isn't very HTPC friendly and doesn't help the user understand what's going on.
Proposal: Skip the Windows popup window and instead display a message in MediaPortal's GUI which mentions that the subtitle won't be loaded. Even better would be if the subtitle reader could be smart enough to add the missing decimal
Steps to Reproduce:
Play a video with an external subtitle file that's missing a decimal like in this example:
Notice the missing ",000" on the second line.
Attached log files and a sample .srt subtitle file.

Play a video with an external subtitle file that's missing a decimal like in this example:
Code:
1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
No problem with this line.
2
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13,000
This line will make MP throw
a Syntax Error message box.
