Subtitle encoding issue with cyrillic encoding

[sonny_life 2]

Hello,

I'm new to this community, so forgive me if I put this topic in the wrong place.

I can't find in the settings where I can manual force specific encoding to the subtitles, so I guess this is automatic process within emby server.

So I'll try to be as brief as possible.

The subtitles are in srt format and the language is Bulgarian (cyrillic encoding).

Subtitle name is something like this movie_name.srt (the same name as the movie).

I tried different econding settings within my server, but with no luck. So this should be somethin withing the emby server.

So my next step was to enforce somehow emby server to recognize them as cyrrillic subtitles. I put .bg at the end so the subtitle name became movie_name.bg.srt

Now the subtitles are recognized as Bulgarian, but there is no change in the encoding.

Yesterday I came up with a workaround, which is ok for now, but I'll be happy if you correct it in the next version of emby.

The work around was simple, instead of .bg I put .ru, so the subtitle name became movie_name.ru.srt

The subtitles are now recognized as Russian and there is no problem with the encoding.

My current version is 3.2.17.0

Best,

Great, thanks for your fast response. I suppose the next release will be the version after 3.2.19.0, right?

[Luke 42079]

Yes correct. Thanks.

[sonny_life 2]

Yes correct. Thanks.

 

Hello Luke,

In version 3.2.20.0 the issue still persist.

@@sonny_life Can you please discuss a specific example? thanks.

[sonny_life 2]

I can send you one if you want. But in general none of them works as Bulgarian and every single one works as Russian.

[Luke 42079]

Yes please, thanks.

Identifying the language helps the sever determine the encoding.

thank for all 

but a have one more question 

is it there a way to force server to determine the encoding. without renaming a sub files

thanks

It's faster that way, because it loads only the necessary encoding files for the desired subtitles. If you have more than one language files, you'll see them by name in the app if you rename them that way. For example .bg.srt .en.srt and so on.

No, as far as I know.
