Random subtitle lines

Hi all,

I have an unusual problem with subtitles. At first I couldnt get serviio to show any subtitles on most movies, but after a lot of reading on forums, I tried using Notepad++ and converting all subtitles I download to UTF-8. Now I get most of them to work except for few where I have something happening I didnt see mentioned on these topics.

I get subtitles to work, but only random lines are shown. So first sutitle line is shown, then 3 are missing, then again 1 shown then 5 missing and so on...

Any one has any idea what this might be.

Thanks

This happens if the file is not UTF-8 and you select UTF-8 encoding in the console. FFmpeg will then skip the lines it cannot convert to UTF-8.

So either save it as utf-8 or set your subs encoding in the console to the one of your files (e.g. iso8859-2)
