    NSString *subtitlesPathStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"example" ofType:@"srt"];
    
    // Create MoviePlayer

    [player.moviePlayer openSRTFileAtPath:subtitlesPathStr
                               completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                   
                                   // Activate subtitles
                                   [player.moviePlayer showSubtitles];
                                   
                                   // Show video
                                   [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:player];
                                   
                               } failure:^(NSError *error) {
                                   
                                   NSLog(@"Error: %@", error.description);
                                   
                               }];

Architecture

    // Open subtitle file and prepare to play with video 
    - (void)openSRTFileAtPath:(NSString *)localFile completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))success failure:(void (^)(NSError *error))failure;
    
    // Show subtitles
    - (void)showSubtitles;
    
    // Hide subtitles
    - (void)hideSubtitles;
