I got it working by adding this to my lircrc

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = Hash
    config = T
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = Hash
    button = Hash
    config = #
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

and setting this in my keybindings

TV Playback	TOGGLECC	Toggle any captions	T
TV Playback	NEXTSUBTITLE	Next subtitle track	#

I don't have set a key for TOGGLESUBTITLE

If I press the Hash key on my remote control once, it toggles the
subtitle on or off, if I press it twice it goes to the next one.

I'm running 0.25+fixes
