samykoka 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks for your fast reply , Yes the same problem happens in web interface , it says unknown language and then the same punch of characters shows !!! it must be something related to selecting default language script ... please what can i do ?

samykoka 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) also the same movies that display the correct subtitles on the AFTV still display correct in the web interface !!! one thing i noticed is the container , the .avi movies display correct , .mp4 display wrong ?? Edit : No , Container has nothing to do with this problem , sorry Edited October 8, 2015 by samykoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsramahi 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Samy you need first to open the subtitle file in windows or your OS using notepad, if you see arabic letters correctly then just save it as UTF-8 and over-right the old one, ffmpeg do not handle ANSI characters correctly, this was the only solution i could find and its doing the job perfectly.
