forced_subtitle_tags , not recognized

[antynea]

Hi,

ums.conf not recognized "accent, e.g: é,è,à,î,ï....etc...)
when i put

Code: Select all

forced_subtitle_tags = forcé

it doesn't work.
when i put

Code: Select all

forced_subtitle_tags = forc\u00E9

it's work.

why doesn't it recognize accents ?

ps: i have linux based os (archlinux), not windows
my LANG is :

Code: Select all

$LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8

In my language "force" means "přinutit" or "vynutit". Do you think that it is possible to allow to set the parameters in all possible languages like in english, french, czech, arab and so on? So the english language was choosen as a standard for all parameters setting.

I coded this part of code and to be honest I don't remember exactly but I am sure I coded it after one french guy requested it (and it was benefitable also for me )
So it worked for "forcé" so I expect you hardcoded it in conf file, true? If you define it in UMS GUI, ums code will convert it to "correct" string in conf file.
So the root cause is how UMS.conf file content is interpreted/decoded (it expects "forc\u00E9" encoding instead of "forcé")

The "forced tag" is custom tag defined in audio/subtitle track. Most users also for files with czech subs are tagging forced subs as "forced" and full subs stay with no description or with "full" string.
But because of possible custom values, property supports multiple values as "forced,nadpisy,zpev,vynucene" etc. to fulfill any string/tag used by users, by default "forced" is used for any language

Right.
i use server headless.
i don't use UMS GUI... I wrote my settings directly to UMS.conf, not via GUI.
over my tests, i concluded : ums.conf is not readable at utf-8, but simply unicode....

i tried "UMS GUI" on windows base, and right, UMS code convert "forcé" to automatically "forc\u00E9".
your GUI does not interest me, I want to write my settings without it.

I have many files with tags subtitle, but their tags does not match "forced".
So instead of rewriting,I decided to use them.

Using more values separated by "," or using "Forc" will also work but yes I agree for headless users it should be described directly in conf file how to type special chars. I am not sure developers will rewrite whole PMSConfiguration.java class for changing this behavior...
