Bug#753990: mplayer2: <font color='…'> statements in SRT subtitle are displayed on screen, colour is not changed

[Axel Stammler]

Package: mplayer2
Version: 2.0-554-gf63dbad-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

SRT subtitle lines like the following

 <font color="cyan">Not really.</font>

are displayed as

 <font color="cyan">Not really.

The subtitle colour is always white.

(The same SRT subtitle file works perfectly with VLC, which displays the correct colours.)
