[BUG] In version 4.9.3.0, “.chi” subtitles is recognized as ‘Chinese’ rather than “Chinese Simplified”

[chuwz 12]

Hello, I’ve been using Emby 4.8.10.0, which is a version from a year ago. It’s been working fine for me, so I haven’t upgraded.

 

In this version, .chi subtitles are recognized as “Chinese Simplified,” which is great.

Today I upgraded my Emby Server to 4.9.3.0, and I noticed that my .chi subtitles, which used to be recognized as “Chinese Simplified,” are now all being recognized as “Chinese.”

As soon as I rolled back to the old version, the .chi files were successfully recognized as “Chinese Simplified” again! So I can confirm that this is caused by the new version

 

But I’m not sure if this is a design change on your part or a recognition bug… If it’s a bug, I hope you can fix this issue as soon as possible!

Hi, several other Chinese users complained about this behavior, so that's why it was changed.

Hahaha, I see. So that’s how it is—that’s really interesting.

 

Also, I’ve already changed all the subtitles from .chi to .zh, so let’s just leave it as is for now. Thanks, developers!

 

By the way, could you please show me that post about “many Chinese users complaining about .chi”? I’d really like to see what they’re saying.
