Maybe a bug?

Hello, Mr. Serge. I just noticed something in the latest build of mplayer.

I changed the config file located in home/user/.mplayer in order to include the "subfont-encoding=ISO-8859-7" option, as i wanted to properly display external subtitles files of the greek language.

But, the outcome wasn't as expected. The subtitles weren't displayed properly. Instead of ISO-8859-7, i also checked CP1253, but they didn't get any better. They show different (i mean with less symbols like !@$#>?:") from the default Unicode encoding, but still very far from what is normal.

I have used the above two options with success in the desktop edition of mplayer (and VLC), so why not with the maemo version?

Moreover, if i remember well, the "subfont-encoding=ISO-8859-7" option, used to work back at .24 mplayer version.

Later, i am going to uninstall mplayer, and start with .24 again to see if that really happens.

But, is it really a bug?

Anyone noticed someting similar with other subfont- encoding options?

Am i doing something wrong?

Should it be reported in the bug tracker?
