Title: Garbled characters with non-english YouTube videos
Post by: audioriver on April 06, 2012, 12:34:33 pm

Tried playing a YouTube Greek-titled video and MC displays garbled characters. Tried changing the Windows locale setting (as is necessary in MC with subtitles) but it seems unrelated here, problem remains. Screenshot:

It's Greek to me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_to_me) ;D

What's the full name of the video, so we can test the same on our side?

Thanks.

Hehe yes, that's not Greek in the pic :P. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc5Q7_XTwOE) another one. Paste the title (Ζουγανέλης Γιάννης - Τότε Κι Εγώ) inside MC's YouTube search and you'll get lots of videos with the same problem.

Unrelated, but if I restart MC and search YouTube videos, I get again the window that asks what I want to do (Show webpage, play file inside player etc.). It seems the answer is not remembered, even if 'Keep using this answer' is selected.

In a coming build:
Fixed: YouTube titles with international characters were not being supported nicely.

Thanks for your help.
