I'm a Korean user. In Korea, smi format is very popular. If you have some spare time to work on this issue, adding this feature will make me very grateful.

what is the benefit of SMI compared to SRT?

I've never heard of this format before. Is it popular?

I found some more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMI

VLC supports SMI files so you could use it as your player.

Although it could be doable with something like smi2vtt, I don't know if I would add more dependencies to webtorrent-desktop given that VLC supports perfectly SMI files 😅
