Issue with subtitles encoding

[DxCx 0]

Hi All,

ch 

I've been using Emby for a year now, everything was working smoothly.

one day, i've updated my Emby server, and since then i cannot see subtitles properly.

example:

 

I've attached relevant log files.

 

So if someone is familiar with this issue and can throw a tip, i'll be glad to hear.

 

P.S

my server is running arch linux as a host.

What's the encoding of the srt files, do you know?

You are right, those are Hebrew subtitles, windows-1255.

Do you need an example file?

Oh lol that's star wars new hope.

[Luke 42083]

if you encode the files in utf8 do they appear correctly?

wow! Really? I meant the way the subtitles are displaying , and I'm pretty sure that is what MndWrp was alluding to Edited December 25, 2015 by Vidman

Help?

I don't mind to debug on my own but please provide some pointers.. :/

We'll look into the encoding but for now i would save them as utf8 until we have an update. thanks.

Well, ATM I just don't play them with emby

Running the movie trough kodi's system storage works. (Instead emby plugin for kodi)

 

But it breaks the reason I'm using emby..

I couldn't find any documention or extra logs regarding this flow. I know I can start dig in deeper and solve it myself, but if you can provide some documention of the flow or any helpful pointer (the function x decideds which encoding and then you can see it in log y) I can go and do it myself, then commit the change...

I am a developer myself..

Ok, latest update:

Went to kodi emby plugin settings, found 'Play from HTTP instead of SMB' is enabled by default.

After disabled it, it is working as expected.

However, on web/phone I still have the encoding issue so that's only solved what was urgent for me.
