All the subtitles I have downloaded for movies so far look like this:
I've tried VLC, XBMC and even PS3 media server. None seem to work. I'm on a mac if that helps - has anyone seen problems like these before?
Weird symbols in subtitles
Re: Weird symbols in subtitles
Is filebot downloading subs in english at all? Any way I can specify that in a script?
Re: Weird symbols in subtitles
Can you tell me what subtitles you're downloading? If you're using the cmdline send me the output.
You could try this:
--lang en
But english is default so it shouldn't make a difference.
--output srt --encoding utf8
This will transcode subtitles downloaded in any format/encoding to UTF-8 encoded .srt files. (Note that if FileBot doesn't correctely auto-detect the original encoding the exported subtitle might be gibberish)
Also you can do test to download and preview subtitles in the GUI and see what happens.
