Different encoding is randomly detected for the same input file #5

The file encoding appears to be randomly determined when processing this file: http://durian.blender.org/wp-content/content/subtitles/sintel_en.srt

The file is UTF-8, so the output in the case UTF16 is detected is, of course, gibberish.

@sandersaares Thanks for finding this! I've fixed this in the code and I will be releasing a new version soon.
