Hebrew subtitles are displayed as gibberish #436

Describe the bug When I choose any Hebrew subtitles they come out as gibberish, probably an issue with the default encoding. Same subtitles do work as expected in the Windows Media Player.

Environment OS: Windows 10 Device: PC App Version v0.13.1.0

Hello, sorry for the late response. I was able to replicate the issue but was not able to make it display correctly on Media Player. So far, I have found the fix for Screenbox to enable the Advanced mode in the settings and add this argument in --subsdec-encoding=ISO-8859-8.

I don't see a way for the app to automatically fix this. The app can't reliably tell which language the subtitle file is in so it can't apply the proper encoding. Please let me know if the argument fix the problem for you.
