[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg not properly rendering utf8 subtitle srt file

[Unni Krishnan]

Hello,

I am using a utf8 srt file in mac to hardcode subtitle to a video.

--
$file -I Ernest_Celestine_2012.srt
Ernest_Celestine_2012.srt: text/plain; charset=utf-8

$uname -a

root:xnu-6153.101.6~15/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

But ffmpeg is not rendering it properly. But VLC is showing the same srt
file properly.

Currently I am using ffplay to test it.

ffplay -i Ernest_Celestine_2012.mp4 -sub_charenc UTF-8 -vf
subtitles='Ernest_Celestine_2012.srt':charenc='UTF-8':force_style='FontName=Manjari'

How can I fix it?

Regards,
Unni
