Subtitles provider - setting for encoding

[Haxy 9]

Hi everyone,

 

I am working on new subtitles provider for Emby using napiprojekt.pl (only for PL subtitles).

Everything works fine except encoding in downloaded file.

Polish special characters need UTF-8 file format, how to set up encoding during file downloading?

 

Currently I get error "2018-04-19 22:00:46.002 Warn SubtitleEncoder: Unrecognized line in srt: [5333][5366]Lepiej bĹagaÄ o przebaczenie,|niĹź prosiÄ o zgodÄ, D." in log when trying to play movie with subtitles.

 

My code:

using (var response = await _httpClient.GetResponse(opts).ConfigureAwait(false))
            {
                var ms = new MemoryStream();

                await response.Content.CopyToAsync(ms).ConfigureAwait(false);
                ms.Position = 0;

                response.Headers.TryGetValue("Content-Disposition", out var cd);

                var fileExt = (cd ?? string.Empty).Split('.').LastOrDefault();

                if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fileExt))
                {
                    fileExt = "srt";
                }

                return new SubtitleResponse
                {
                    Format = fileExt,
                    Language = id.Split('=').LastOrDefault(),
                    Stream = ms
                };
            }

what is the encoding from the source?

From log: 

22:45:27.736 Debug SubtitleEncoder: charset windows-1250 detected for D:\Download\TestLibrary\The.Walking.Dead.S08E13.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS\The.Walking.Dead.S08E13.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS.pl.srt

Well that's what was detected, but detection is not always perfect. What i'm asking is to find out what's coming down from the api you're getting them from.

Jus open the link from my first post (below code block).

You will get subtitles

[Luke 37116]

Sure, but then I have to do the research to figure out the original encoding. I was asking if you knew that information.

I just generate that link in my code by calculating hash from file then i need to save this text to srt file with utf8.

 

Maybe something like: Encoding.UTF8.GetString after i get content of respons
