(supercedes the former post above which was not entirely accurate).

I never use separate ASS files, because I have never, ever, come across any with the necessary fonts attached; whenever ASS files for anime get distributed separately from the video they are always accompanied by a folder of fonts (or none if the distributor couldn't be bothered!).  Attaching fonts to ASS files is possible, but as they have to be UU-encoded, they are made inefficiently large.  Note also that although MKVToolnix can extract these fonts when muxing an ASS file, it is not able to restore them when the ASS file is extracted from the muxed form.  Also some subtitle editors don't recognise attached fonts.

The sub file you've attached to your post above doesn't have any fonts in it (you asked what the point of looking at the file contents was...).

Note: there is no corresponding problem with separate SRT files, as there are no fonts involved.

Sure I can give it another try when I get a chance, do I need to pull the latest build or anything ?

No, you can just use the hosted web app with your existing server.
