Description

Summary of the bug:
When applying an -ss offset on a srt subtitle file the resulting output file is cut at the wrong line and has the wrong offset.
Using the attached eng.srt file and an -ss of 0:46:38.045 i expect the cut to happen on the 641th line with a timestamp of about 7 seconds, instead it happen on the 640th line messing up with the timecodes
How to reproduce:

ffmpeg -ss 0:46:38.045 -i eng.srt 3.srt
ffmpeg version N-90168-gc0919c4985

Use post-demuxer seek

ffmpeg -i eng.srt -ss 0:46:38.045 -c copy 3.srt

Replying to Gyan:

Use post-demuxer seek

ffmpeg -i eng.srt -ss 0:46:38.045 -c copy 3.srt

Why the output should be different between using -ss as an input or output filter in this case and why do they give different results?

Post-demuxer seek doesn't work correctly either.

If you have two subtitles:

00:05 --> 00:15
one

00:15 --> 00:20
two

And you seek the output to start at 00:10, the output will look like this:

00:05 --> 00:10
two

It should include five seconds of the first subtitle line, but it instead discards it.
