Details

It's a factual error in the docs. Under the "WebVTT cues" heading, it says:

---

A cue consists of five components:

• An optional cue identifier followed by a newline.
• Cue timings.
• Optional cue settings with at least one space before the first and between each setting.
• One or more newlines.
• The cue payload text.
• • - The problem is shown in bold: or more. The W3C docs say there has to be exactly one newline (see: https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#webvtt-cue-block).

It makes a big difference, because two newlines (a blank line) would make it impossible to tell whether a following line that starts with "NOTE" is a comment or subtitle text.

All you need to do to fix this is to delete or more :)
