SOLVED : subtitle with smplayer

[raed]

hello every one

i've problem with display subtitle in smplayer
Characters are separated like this
ا ل س ل ا م ع ل ي ك م
someone told me this happen because fribidi version is old ..
i changed encoding : options > preferences > subtitles to arabic Windows (CP1256)
but this is not solve my problem

i used also vlc it is better than smplayer "to display subtitle" BUT in some parts of subtitle there is a square like this "[] [] [] []" in fonts so i can't understand anything !

totem player is good to display font , any idea to volume up the sound to 200% like vlc ?

the srt file contains any special sign like italic font or lines like this "-"?

some video players won't work with that, if the file is not srt, this could be part of the problem, maybe you could convert the subtitle with the help of subtitle editor or other similar apps in synaptic

in totem, the 200 output doesn't exist afik(totem is not the most popular app), only kmix with the audio levels, be sure to set the master and pcm levels to maximum

other option to play the videos could be xine and gxine gui, also mplayer, smplayer is a gui for mplayer

about vlc, are you using 1.1 or 2.0 version?

i found the solution

i open the srt file with libreoffice > character set to Arabic (Windows-1256)
after that all the lines now with Arabic language not like this



 > Copied all > open srt file again > Delete all lines and copy the lines from libreoffice > paste it > save it with encoding "unicode" > then change encoding in smplayer to "unicode"

now every thing is well

i never imagined that solution, well done

i always remove the italic modifications, some video players just hate them, if possible, i recommend you to do it too

thanx 
how can i remove "italic modifications" ?

i'm not completely sure on your case since it is a different language but italic gives as a result here this type of result in the font when applied here

in the example you posted there is some lines where the text has the  

if i remember correctly that is italic on srt subtitles but as i mentioned, lots of devices won't show it or even worse, won't show the text line with it

i used to edit the srt files before storing the movie in hard disk or in a cd but i don't do it anymore because i don't watch much movies now, mostly when i want to see a movie i go to the movie theater or in tv, edit the files takes time and i usually don't have it
