> I'd love to use all these neat Chromecast tricks but I can't because of its (native) poor support for external subtitles

author here. yes, i have been working on adding subtitle support to this web app as well (you paste two urls, one for the video and one for the srt file). chromecast supports WebVTT [1] and it's pretty straightforward to convert srt to WebVTT. Although, it requires using a custom receiver app. stay tuned.

Dude, that's great, you'd be fixing a real issue that Chromecast has (in my opinion). I'll check it regularly to see how it goes, thanks for the effort :-)
