Many subtitle files don't have their encoding detected automatically correctly (Not unique to Dragon, a known issue in VLC, SMPlayer and any other player really). Thus, it is a very useful feature in a video player to be able to manually select the encoding. Though sadly, it is today not possible to do that in Dragon. Attached is a Hebrew subtitles file that is incorrectly displayed as some langauge with latin alphabet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a video file with esoterically-encoded subtitles 2. See that is not displayed correctly 3. Look for a GUI element to change the encoding Actual Results: No such GUI element exists Expected Results: Having an option to change subtitles encoding
Created attachment 84743 [details] Hebrew subtitle file which has it's encoding wrongly detected by dragon
You cannot make libvlc pick the correct encoding right now. So this cannot be implemented because of upstream limitations. I'd suggest to convert all files to UTF-8.
