Mplayer and greek subtitles
 
Hello and happy new year!

I'm new to the site and just bought n900. I searched and found the mplayer that I use with kmplayer, in order to play movies with external subtitles. The english subtitles work well, better than I expected in fact! The problem is with the greek subtitles, that show incorrect. (#%^&!@$#%^!$ %$&% for example). Is there any way to fix this? Maybe a different font or something? If yes, can anybody tell me a way to fix this? :eek:

Can you please tell me how? I'm a complete noob if it requires programming.

EDIT:Already installed with nothing to have changed!

It's a problem with the subtitle encoding. Try adding
Code:
# Set font encoding.
subfont-encoding=unicode

# Set subtitle file encoding.
unicode=yes
utf8=yes
To the mplayer config file located at ~/.mplayer/config. You'll need terminal and for example leafpad to do this.

thank you again, but I can't do anything without guidance...
So please if you are kind, explain in noob steps what to do. I installed leafpad but i can't find/open config. And after that i copy all lines in the example, including # set mpla mpla? It might sound strange or stupid, but please respond.

I dunno about leafpad, but your device comes with the editor "vi".

1) Open an X terminal
2) Type the following: vi ~/.mplayer/config
3) This will open the editor on that file.
4) Press "I" on the keyboard to enter insert mode.
5) Type what joppu has above (you can ignore lines that begin with a # symbol)
6) When finished, hit "Esc".
7) Hit "Shift" key + ":" key.
7) Type "wq" and press enter.
8) Finished!

In all cases, you don't type the quotations.

If you struggle to use the editor vi, you can find a great guide here with a nice cheatsheet.

No need for reboot. Just give:

Code:
echo "subfont-encoding=ISO-8859-7" > /home/user/.mplayer/config
Actually it is the same as editing the file. Greek subtitles are usually encoded as ISO-8859-7.
