AMC subtitle encoding

[psxlover]

Is there a way to change the encoding of subtitles when using AMC script?
-get-subtitles seems to have a "--encoding" option but it seems like the encoding is hardcoded in the AMC script.

No. The amc script forces SubRip/UTF-8 format.

I just noticed that my TV supports utf-8 subtitles, as long as it contains BOM. Is there a way to make filebot export the subtitle with BOM? (I'm currently running a modified amc script where I use "ISO-8859-7" as enconding).

Not supported. But I'm sure there's cmdline utilities that can add that extra BOM to the beginning of the file. And you can call that automatically via --def exec and some condition to only exec that tool on subtitles.
