soolution 4 subs

[bastya_elvtars]

when u open a sub set text encoding to ISO8859-1
worked at 4 different movies (sub and srt too)
maybe this is a wrong idea but try it

[The DJ]

It would generally be a pretty good idea, since most subs are in that encoding.
Unless you are trying to view romanian, japanese, hebrew or other subs thelike

[bastya_elvtars]

im hungarian but works with any european languages
however u r right but dont know the non-latin letters' ISO standard
should set it, not leave on default
and i should login @ last

so i think (im a complete idiot @ programming) that when u open a sub u should not leave text encoding on default... this might b a bug
and u should switch off autosearch subtitles cause it confuses vlc in my opinion...

By default it uses the locale of the OS you are running.
Japanese when you are japanese, windows east europion when you are in romania, UTF-8 if you have your linux machine setup for UTF-8

That's why it's called 'System Default'

i tested the entire thing on a win98 machine and it opened the subtitle w/o any problems and displayed it correctly...

i wonder this
