Incorrect displaing of cyrilic name in VLC

[astrolon]

Dear developers!
How can i correct wrong displaing cyrilic names in caption of VLC?

[VLC_help]

If the text comes from metadata of the file, then the metadata isn't in UTF-8 format.

Dear VLC_help,

This bug is not related to the content.
See 2 screenshots, (1) correct and (2) incorrect.
Both are taken from the same source!

The correct screenshot is done using vlc-1.0.3-git-20091004-0005-win32.exe.
The incorrect one is done with vlc-1.0.3-git-20091005-0004-win32.exe.
All VLC versions before (and including) October 4, 2009 worked fine, showing Cyrillic w/o problems.
All versions starting October 5, 2009 went wrong.
As to release versions, please note that 1.0.2 worked with Cyrillic like a charm, as opposed to 1.0.3, which does not show Cyrillic.

Both screenshots are taken from streaming video, but it's all the same with files.
It is impossible now to watch Internet TV with VLC 1.0.3, because Cyrillic channel names are not shown proporly.
Must use 1.0.2...

Gelleal, thanks a lot for answering! Where did you extract follow: vlc-1.0.3-git-20091004-0005-win32??
I saw in mine "Медиа-проигрыватель VLC 1.0.3 Goldeneye", i downloaded it from off-site.
I downloaded VLC 1.0.2 Goldeneye Nothing changed

Where can i download correct version with working cyrilic like a charm ?
Give me link to correct version of VLC or send me it to e-mail: astrolon@mail.ru, plz
Заранее спасибо

The page is: http://nightlies.videolan.org/
Direct link is: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 1004-0005/

P.S. Please make sure that your files are correct anyway.
If the version I've pointed to does not show Cyrillic with your files, maybe files are somewhat wrong really.
In my case, the source is not wrong for sure, because it is playable with another VLC version.

Galleal, thanx

Well, but what does VLC_help think about it?

[VLC_help]

gelleal: have you tested 1.1.0 builds?

[gelleal]

have you tested 1.1.0 builds?

Yes, I've tested them, too.
The error is present in current 1.1.0 builds, as well as in all 1.0.4 and 1.0.3 builds starting from October 5th, 2009.
