[Bug]: Subtitles not line-breaking properly with VidKing #162

Description

Guidelines

Describe the bug

When VidKing is selected, subtitles (no matter which language or version I select) don't seem to render line breaks properly, and on multi-line subtitles, everything is shown in one line, without even a separating space. Doesn't seem to be an issue with VidSrc or Videasy.

More generally, VidKing rarely seems to load videos successfully, and 3-4 of the 5 servers tend to be unavailable, so perhaps it should not be the default option.

Expected Behavior

Subtitles loaded in VidKing should line-separate properly.

Additional Information

Attaching screenshots of bug (with VidKing) and also of subtitles rendering correctly (with VidSrc/VidEasy). The problem does not appear to be movie-specific but rather a problem innate to the way VidKing parses subtitles.
