does not support unicode characters #40

TorhamDev commented 2 years ago

hi, I have been using this library for some time and this library has difficulty reading Unicode characters.

For example, in languages like fa, ko, ar and el, we get the following error :

raise MalformedFileError('The file does not have a valid format') webvtt.errors.MalformedFileError: The file does not have a valid format

I do a lot of work so that I can finally use the subtitles of these languages with this library.

Can this problem be solved? :)

Hi @TorhamDev apologies for the very late reply. I tested caption files in all those languages that you listed and the library seems to be fine not raising any exception. Please give a try with the latest version 0.5.0. I am closing this issue. Open a new issue if needed providing a faulty captions file for evaluation. Thanks!
