 I have many recordings whose captions are enclosed in .srt files.  These
 work as desired, except in one, possibly unusual case.  My media volumes
 are backed up onto the hard drives of one machine that I occasionally use
 as a frontend.

 By using symlinks, I can make the paths to these recordings look the same
 as those on the backend.  When I play back on this frontend, the local
 copies are played, rather than having the content streamed over the
 network from the backend.  In this specific case, the .srt files are not
 rendered, even though they are also in the backup on the frontend.  I
 suspect this same problem would manifest if the media volumes were NFS
 mounted, but I haven't tested that.
