Describe the bug
I am casting from my PC, to my Smart TV using DLNA, a movie with arabic subtitles. The characters are all bugged, like this for example:
Subtitles format is SRT, encoding is UTF-8 with BOM (also tried without BOM), both not working properly.
Tried with .VTT subtitles, it worked fine.
Can that be solved by a software option change from the dashboard or is that a bug from Jellyfin that needs to be fixed?
System (please complete the following information):
OS: Windows
Virtualization: None
Clients: LG NetCast through DLNA
Browser: Edge 92
Jellyfin Version: 10.7.6
Playback: Direct
Hardware Acceleration: None
Installed Plugins: None
Reverse Proxy: None
Base URL: I don't understand that, by default, none
To Reproduce
Cast from any device, to TV using DLNA, SRT subtitles with UTF-8 with BOM encoding
See error
Expected behavior
.SRT subtitles to work fine (like VTT subtitles), as they do on other clients, since the subtitles encoding is right.
Screenshots
I can't screenshot my TV so here's an example of exactly how it looks like
Additional context
.SRT format is supported by the TV, I tried playing the movie and the subtitles on the TV from a flash memory and it worked just fine with no encoding problems.
