I found a solution. I compared this .srt file with another .srt file
that works on my version of VLC. I found that the difference is the
format of the time tags. I changed it accordingly from:
00:03:47.47 --> 00:03:53
to:
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:53,000
(which is the format used in the .srt file that works) using GNU Emacs.
After this change, the original .srt file works with VLC.
Regards and thanks.

Hello.
When I try to watch a video with external .srt subtitles in VLC, I
get
strings like "98 --> 00:00:11" (which are strings part of the .stt
file)
instead of the proper text. The problem is the same whether I open
the
subtitles with the "Open (advanced)" menu option, or name both files
the
same (except for the extension) and use the "Video"->"Subtitles
Track"
menu to select the subtitles.
How can I fix or work around this problem?.
Thanks in advance.
It's probably a problem with the subtitle, something like this maybe?

You could try another video player, like mpv.
