Arabic Subtitles

[samykoka 0]

Hi ,

i'm using a registered Version of emby app , my movies library contains external srt subtitles all in Arabic language , i have a problem .. during playback the subtitles sometimes appears correct and sometimes not , all i sea is a punch of characters .. this is not the case when playing them on my pc ?

 

this happens no matter the server sends data direct (Direct/v) or (trans/i)

what i can do in server side to force transcode the right character set??

 

Thanks .

do you also see this problem in the web interface?

Thanks for your fast reply , Yes the same problem happens in web interface , it says unknown language and then the same punch of characters shows !!!

it must be something related to selecting default language script ...  please what can i do ?

also the same movies that display the correct subtitles on the AFTV still display correct in the web interface !!!

one thing i noticed is the container , the .avi movies display correct , .mp4 display wrong ??

 

Edit :

No , Container has nothing to do with this problem , sorry

Samy you need first to open the subtitle file in windows or your OS using notepad, if you see arabic letters correctly then just save it as UTF-8 and over-right the old one, ffmpeg do not handle ANSI characters correctly, this was the only solution i could find and its doing the job perfectly.
