So SRT files happened to work with versions of VideoJS up to 4.11, even though they weren't officially supported, but SRTs no longer work in 4.12 (because of the use of vtt.js, which greatly improves support for WebVTT files). This isn't specifically documented.

And for your quick results either you downgrade your video.js to 4.11 or use bubbel.js here is one of the example implemented with bubble.js
