Also you can notice that subtitle looks ugly
This is how it looks in smplayer

I wonder if we can take mplayer.conf subtitle settings and integrate it in Audience (subtitle size, shadow, color, language...)

Same problem in Croatian. Letters like ž,š etc are shown as 009e or 009e. It is problem with encoding.

Hi, same problem here with Cyrillic subtitles. There should be an option to change the encoding for external subtitles. This is a must have feature!

@cassidyjames Seems to be working with https://github.com/elementary/videos/pull/153
Tested with some random Romanian subtitles. and manually adding ž,š character in subs. Can someone confirm with the pr.

@arshubham Thank you. ~I've also confirmed your PR does fix this issue too.~
Edit: wait, the issue seems to be also unreproducible.
I just tested with master, can't reproduce the issue there too. Might have been fixed by gstreamer or subtitles of a particular extensions may be the issue. Adding incomplete status for now if someone has the issue, can share the subtitle file affected.
Cyrilic subtitles do not work neighter windows-1251 nor UTF8 encoded.
