Comment:

 Well, something is wrong for sure...a user on mythtv.dk mentioned that he
 had this bracket issue on his 0.23-fixes r23912. I went on and tested it
 on my own 0.23-fixes r23585 and I have the same issue.

 Playing videos which contains brackets - [] or () - in their filenames,
 will not be able to display subtitles (no subtitles are available when
 clicking "T"). I tested with the following two movies, which both had the
 issue:

 {{{
 [mythtv at mc Movies]$ ll Film_SD_2010/Beowulf\[2007\]DvDrip\[Eng\].*
 -rw-r----- 1 root mythtv 733382656 11 apr  2008
 Film_SD_2010/Beowulf[2007]DvDrip[Eng].avi
 -rw-r----- 1 root mythtv     59483 11 apr  2008
 Film_SD_2010/Beowulf[2007]DvDrip[Eng].srt

 [mythtv at mc Movies]$ ll Film_SD_2010/Blade.Runner.\(2007\).*
 -rw-r----- 1 root mythtv 734945280  5 dec 22:24
 Film_SD_2010/Blade.Runner.(2007).avi
 -rw-r----- 1 root mythtv     53339  2 jan  2008
 Film_SD_2010/Blade.Runner.(2007).srt
 }}}

 I don't know if this could have anything to do with the problem, but the
 text within the brackets are stripped away in the names shown:

 {{{
 Blade.Runner.(2007).avi -> "Blade Runner"
 Beowulf[2007]DvDrip[Eng].avi -> "BeowulfDvDrip"
 }}}


 I've attached a -v playback log, which show that the subtitle file isn't
 loaded (no OpenFile on the srt subtitle file). The files are stored on a
 mounted NFS share. Tell me if you need me to perform some further tests.
