System.ArgumentException: 'windows1252' is not a supported encoding name is thrown when playing with Hungarian subtitles

[belidzs 0]

I have recently started up a portable Emby server on a Windows 10 machine. Everything works great except the subtitles.

 

How to reproduce the problem:

1. Login to web client
2. Select a video file with an external Hungarian subtitle (ending has to be .hun.srt)
3. Play
4. Select subtitle to show

I would expect the subtitle to display. Instead, no error message appears and there are no subtitles at all.

 

I have found the following relevant stack trace in the logs:

It should be resolved for the next release, thanks.

Thank you!

 

Edit: I realized there was a beta available, so I have updated to 3.2.33.17-beta and I can confirm that the issue is gone.
