Unfortunatelly not. We use third party code ICU4J to detect the character set and language. It is not 100% accurate and some languages are not included like Bulgarian. See http://userguide.icu-project.org/conver ... -Encodings

EDIT: You ca do one thing. Rename your Bulgarian subtitles from e.g.

Code: Select all

Video_name.srt
to

Code: Select all

Video_name.bul.srt
and UMS will detect them correctly like Bulgarian.

Thank You, that is enough, problem is solved by renaming the sub files ;)

edit
Just to say, the most Russian usage is KOI8-R
Ucrainian - KOI8-U
Bulgarian - windows-1251
