I have problem with smplayer not showing the Swedish native letters å ä ö right, in the subtitles. I did install smplayer-l10n but that didn't help.
And, why is not smplayer on the new release (xfce)?
Hello @vilde,
do you play local stuff with smplayer or do you play stuff from nfs/cifs shares?
At home we play multimedia stuff from nfs share of a Debian NAS, I've had trouble with german äöü under a fresh installed FreeBSD system, because of different locale settings (de-utf8 under Debian NAS, de-iso ... under FreeBSD). After switching FreeBSD locale to de-utf8 trouble has gone.
QuoteAnd, why is not smplayer on the new release (xfce)?
Maybe Torsten will integrate smplayer in the final release.
Kind regards,
Holger
I play movies from hd or usb hd.
I have sv_SE.UTF-8
and in vlc it works, I can use vlc but I would prefer smplayer, one reason is that smplayer handles the sound better on my system.
I manage to solve it by changing the settings in smplayer.
Settings-Subtitles-Default subtitle encoding: was set to West European Language I(SO-8859-1). I did change that to UTF-8 (UTF-8) and after that smplayer shows my åäö.
Thank you holgerw for putting me on the right direction.
