External Greek subs not showing correctly

[stratos67 0]

Hello people!

Just got the android app for my device.

I have the option to load external subs from my library but unfortunately the Greek subs are not showing correctly.

Like the encoding is not correct,,,it shows unreadable characters.

Any suggastions??

 

Thanks!

What is the name of the subtitle file?

[stratos67 0]

it happens to any subtitle file with Greek characters, no matter what tv serie or movie is made for.

And what is the name of the subtitle file? Thanks.

For example,

The.Blacklist.S02E05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.srt

if this is what you want.

For example,

The.Blacklist.S02E05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.srt

if this is what you want.

 

Yes, try renaming it to:

The.Blacklist.S02E05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.gre.srt

Then run a scan on that folder, and after that the subs should display correctly. Thanks.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, i think i found another solution that seems to work

I opened the file with notepad and changed the encoding by "save as", from ANSI to UTF-8

And it works fine!

But now, i have to change all tie subs of my library....i hope i can find a way to massively change all...and not one by one...

Thanks again!!

That will probably work too, yes.
