subtitles support on right to left languages

Open bogoch opened this issue 2 months ago • 6 comments

Describe your suggested feature

Hi, On right to left languages, like Arabic and Hebrew, the punctuation Marks are displayed on the opposite side, if you could add an option on the subtitles setting to change that or make it automaticaly based on the language it would be very helpful. Thank you!

This looks like a subtitle file issue. Can you check if the subtitle file correctly renders them.

So go into a downloaded .srt/vtt file and compare it to the subtitles in the video player.

I looked in the file and it looks like you are right , but every show or movie I watch it's the same problem. Also I tested the same file on VLC and it works correctly. The VLC uses Windows-1255, but when I try the same format on cloudstream its just random symbols. On cloudstream I use UTF-8 because it seems to be the only one that's displays Hebrow letters. Thank you.

This is the same srt file.

Image This is from cloud stream before the word

Please if someone can fix it🙏

Are you able to share the srt file you use? Or just one that has the issue?

I can share it but almost all the Hebrew files are the same.

Most players (This is Mx player for example) have this setting and it seems to do the job.

I also noticed a bug that in Auto mode The Hebrew subtitles are displayed in Chinese for some reason, Only when I change it to UTF-8 This is displayed in hebrow (I've tried all the other options and it doesn't work). I can't unfortunately upload a file for example because it doesn't support vvt or srt formats.

Thank you so much for helping!!
