After some hair tearing and screaming I figured out how to exercise the patch found by Mohammed Sameer.
And what do you know... it worked wonderful...
However the input file has to be in UTF-8 first and iconv failed miserably as it messed up the text.
Again MohammedSameer cam to the rescue! His wonderful katoob flawlessy saved the srt file to utf-8. Maybe there's a more friendly way to circumvent the very buggy mplayer interface... for now I have to add the options to the command line...
Seems like all the mics in the world are either broken or on vacation.. Haven't tested gaim-vv uptill now..

iconv failed ??
that's odd
I usually do:
Screenshots ?
screenshots please
I tried to but..
I tried to post two screenshots of equilibrium with the srt loaded but drupal refused saying the screenshot was too big... now it refuses to add anything saying I can add only three images in my gallery.
I tried to find alaa or manal on IRC but noone was there yesterday.
I hope this gets fixed. ( how did everyone post their screenshots anayway? )
The input file was ISO8859-6 and when I converted to UTF-8 the words were gibberish. Maybe this is particular to an error in this file as I regulary use iconv on html webpages.
Personal gallery
Pharaonix, try posting the image to your personal gallery. That should be a drop down box option at the end of the image submission page.

limit upped... yupee
I already tried all the ways the problem was with the size limit in the configuration of the gallery.
I talked to alaa on IRC and he raised the limit on the screenshots... So I posted one screenshot.
mplayer
convert the file with kwrite or gedit why use iconv????!!!!!!!!! then add to line to ~/.mplayer/config fontconfig = "yes"
utf8 = "yes" and use gmplayer dont use command line enjoy.
