djhifi 55 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 For everyone that have linux servers and use accented subtitles, the problem is reported here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/39560-subtitle-ansi-marking-on-accented-characters/&do=findComment&comment=377366 Current status is unsolved but "being looked into".

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Alright guys I put in a fix in the last emby for kodi beta version 2.2.57. It should convert the subtitles to utf-8 on the fly so they can display correctly in Kodi. Note this only works if you have defined the language tag in the filename such as filename.pt.srt. Can someone from this thread confirm this? Thanks Edited October 27, 2016 by Angelblue05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone from this thread confirm this? Thanks This is good but as I already replied in the PM i've sent you, it doesnt bother me the KODI addon side. Because I dont transcode inside my house. I direct stream, so KODI and your addon handle the subs correctly (as it's supposed to in 2016 lol). Strange this thing still persists server side and emby client side tough....so many accented chars users.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sse450 2 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I have the same character encoding problem with both, emby server and emby for kodi addon. Server (3.0.8500.0) runs on Centos 7 headless, and accessed by web browser on windows. Emby for kodi ( 2.3.19) runs on LibreElec (jarvis 16.1). Before installing emby for kodi addon, I used to change settings>videos>subtitles>character set to suit the encoding. This effectively fixed all encoding problems. Now, with emby for kodi addon, this switch has no effect. Subtitles for streaming on kodi (outside emby for kodi addon) works without any encoding problem. This subtitle encoding problem is a show stopper. Instead of changing encoding all the srt files to UTF8, please introduce subtitle encoding switch somehow in emby server. I love otherwise fantastic emby server and emby for kodi addon. I truly appreciate your efforts in creating this gem.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) @@sse450 This issue has nothing to do with the add-on. When you direct play from HTTP, the server provides the file and subs. What you are seeing is a server side issue. However, I do believe this has finally be resolved in the beta version of the server. If the issue persists, post in the server forums as no one here can fix this. Thanks.
