Subtitle encoding problem

Post by petria »

Hi,

recently updated from 6.4.0 to 6.5.3 UMS. After that subtitle encoding is not working anymore. Subtitles are
external .srt files and contains Finnish special characters: ÖÄÅöäå ... They are after update shown incorrectly by
the Samsung TV. Before update subtitles were working fine.... Any ideas where to seeks solution for this ?

Also did try with 7.0.0-a1 version, same problem with that.

Hi,

Did you tried to set the encoding manually ?
In the "Transcoding settings" tab, select "Subtitles settings" tab and change "Auto detect" to "ISO-8859-1 Western european" or "Codepage 1252".
