Hi! It looks like the filename ends in .srt, but your start time is in .vtt format instead. WebVTT milliseconds start with "." while SRT milliseconds start with ",". Do you want to try renaming your file so that it ends in a .vtt? Thank you!

Silly me, I opened srt file first then opened vtt while didn't change mode.

Thank you very much for your kind heart and awesome package! 🥰
