Oh, okay, I understand that you're probably busy with more important stuff. Looking forward to this feature anyway, if ever.

Hi.
I've been a long time user of XBMC, and a long time fansubber. The lack of very good support for SSA/ASS subtitles in XBMC never used to be a problem, but with the recent trend in fansubs to include a embedded subtitle file instead of hardcoded subtitles has changed the situation. I find myself watching shows on my computer instead of on my TV, just so I can have them in the right postions at the right scale, and sometimes in the right colors.
I would love it if XBMC would be able to support these subs better, as the other options are just so underwhelming after using XBMC as long as I have.
Thanks.

If one of you could PM me with a location of where I can download an example clip with subtitles in this format, I would appreciate it.

libass from player can certainly be used, and would probably be the best approach.

Great news.
I would also love SSA/ASS subtitle support in mplayer.
Do you think it's possible or does it involve big changes to xbmc version of mplayer?

doubt we should add it to mplayer, not that it isn't possible, but i'd rather have it added to dvdplayer.
