Multi-line .srt subtitle support in ATV?

[Jabrwock]

I've got a foreign language film .m4v with soft-embedded .srt subtitles. (I used Subler to add the .srt track)

In subtitle editors like Jubler, the subtitles are spanned across two lines. These display as two lines of dialogue in Quicktime or iTunes in 10.6.2, but on my AppleTV (v 3.0.2) they display as one line, so the text ends up getting truncated with "..." on the end.

So for example:

In QT:

A brave man sheds blood
before he sheds tears.

In ATV:

A brave man sheds blood before he sheds ...

Am I using the wrong character to do a "newline"? Or is the AppleTV currently incapable of properly displaying multi-line subtitles that aren't burned in?

Yes.

What character is the "proper" character? I have trouble with the Apple TV chopping off subtitles on the second line, but I'm not sure if it is due to whatever is being described here.

The AppleTV2 supports multiline subs as long as the newlines are unix-style: \n or in hex 0x0A.
Dos-style newlines are not supported ( \r\n or 0x0D 0x0A ).
