I just had a few minutes of scary reading over at http //thehackernews.com/2017/05/movie-subtitles-malware.html where a company called Checkpoint describes how easy a hacker can specially craft an .SRT file to fool the subtitle engine to download and install malicious files on the computer.
Other mediacenter vendors have already been warned, VLC, Kodi (XBMC), Popcorn Time and Stremio. I wonder if JRiver did ?
