RTL punctuation issue in Hebrew subtitles (when transcoding) #2

[adir4289 2]

I apologize for opening another thread about this issue, but it seems like it has been forgotten, and more than a year has passed without a fix.

I would really appreciate it if the developers could take another look at this issue and provide a fix.

Thank you!
 

 

 

When playing Hebrew subtitles (RTL) during transcoded playback, punctuation marks appear on the wrong side (e.g. periods, commas, hyphens).

Example:

 

> הגנרל איבד את אחד מחייליו. אתה יודע-

 

appears with reversed punctuation only when transcoding — direct play looks fine.

 

Details:

 

Subtitle format: SRT (UTF-8)

 

Language: Hebrew (RTL)

 

OS: Android 16 Phone.

 

Happens on transcoded streams only

 

Direct play → OK

 

 

Seems like ffmpeg or Emby’s subtitle renderer mishandles RTL text direction during transcoding.
