This seems to a bug in VLC. It works on other platforms, but on Windows it fails to autodetect subs even if I tell what directory to look from. But I asked the videolan guys, let's see if it can be fixed.

VLC itself can display subtitles.

Will do, once I get home.

Can you please help me run Knots2 server on non-English Windows? It looks my previous post was forgotten, but the thing is when there is a non-English character (notably 2 byte characters) in the path of a file, it cannot be played on the client side. It looks it's scanned properly on the server side though.

Well I don't know how to fix that really. I don't do any character encoding so everything gets stored as is. If server scans it correctly, I think it's VLC that fails to find it. Can you change log level to 2 and add a new setting:

Description: Developer mode
Key: devel
Value: 1

Then restart server and try to play it. It prints out VLC info to terminal, check if the file is missing from the input line. Play something that works first to see what it should print out.

Guess I'm bit of old school because I never use non-ascii characters on file paths because they always fail somewhere.

I really don't know. I can't signup so I can't say what type of video streams they are, but if the site requires a login to view them, you can't probably just add the urls manually. So I don't think it will work, sorry.

EDIT: But you can try to find out the stream urls and add them manually and check if they work.

There is now an easy installer for Windows users. Please test and report back if it doesn't work. You can't really update your server easily with it so it's only recommended if you don't want to go through the trouble of using git.

In this case only VLC needs to support it, but if the streams use authentication they can't work without some work. I would be happy to add this feature but I can't since it's only available for uk residents. But you can always buy a cheap dvb adapter and use that if you get those channels the usual way.
