SRT Subitles too small on AppleTV + Wrong character set used for non-english text

[cynick]

While playing a movie with the attached subtitles, russian characters are used for non-english letters instead of czech/slovak. When played with MovieTime? with "Central European (Windows Latin 2)" encoding, the characters were correct.

Second issue addresses the font size of the subitiles on AppleTV (connected to a 32" TV), it is too small when compared to font size on a iMac 24" (played using QuickTime player).

[nemeseri]

The hungarian subtitles (iso-8859-2, Latin 2) still not displayed correctly. The special "ő" and "ű" characters displayed with the "õ" and "û" (iso-8859-1, Latin 1) characters.

I think I'll probably file it as a bug at Mozilla.

Font size problem solved after copying /System/Library/Fonts/Helv* files to the same location on ATV

[astrange]

Is this file valid?

"281

00:20:20,780 --> 00:20:22,740

a se nezhroutím. "

There's an illegal control character after the 'a'.

iconv: subtitles.srt:1252:1: cannot convert

[cynick]

The file should be OK.
Enca output:
$> enca -L cs subtitles.srt
MS-Windows code page 1250

Mixed line terminators

the .srt snippet from above (with correct encoding) should look like:
281
00:20:20,780 --> 00:20:22,740
ať se nezhroutím.

[tick]

The font size should be fixed in b3. Moving this to 1.1 for the character set issue.

[astrange]

Oh, well, it doesn't have a 1250 detector at all... I guess I need to find a larger text corpus.

(In [497]) Use double newline as the separator between subtitle lines in .srt rather than looking for the next increasing number. Refs #172

Experimental winlatin1/winlatin2 detector

[astrange]

Can you test that against some subtitle files and see if it works? If something isn't detected, post it here.

I used French and German for latin1, so other languages might not work well.

actual source

[cynick]

Hi
I tested the csdet.c with about 250 win-1250 coded subtitle files, all but one were identified correctly (see attached subs-win-1250.srt ).

$ enca -L cs subs-win-1250.srt
MS-Windows code page 1250

Mixed line terminators

$ ./csdet subs-win-1250.srt
subs-win-1250.srt : latin-1 @ -1921446

[rickvug]

I can confirm that the exact file that is needed is "Helvetica.otf".

[anonymous]

I can't find Helvetica.otf on my mac, only Helvetica.dfont

[loyalty_anchored]

I tested moving /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont from my intel mac to the same path on my AppleTV and the subtitles are now being displayed in a reasonable size.

This bug is too general; I'm closing it. I'll work on the failing sample, though.
