[Subtitles] Convert European CP1250 files to UTF-8
Issue #643
resolved
One problem is that central European subtitles are mostly encoded in CP1250 (usually srt). The only thing that I could do is to convert srt files (with iconv) from CP1250 to UTF-8 and this work perfectly - all special characters are shown. But it is pretty annoying for doing that for all present and future subtitles.

There is now a new FFmpeg (after 1.1) subtitles filter argument
charenc

It's difficult to find out the file's encoding, so this could be a field in the console (and the user would have to ensure all their files are using the same encoding)
