Description

verion: 1.6.0-rc01

Two ways:

  1. Using a local cheat, it appears as garbled code.
    After transcoding the file stream to UTF-8, it can be displayed normally.
    Path.utf8(file)

  2. When adding subtitles online, it appears as garbled text.
    new MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.Builder(Uri.parse(getUrl())).setLabel(getName()).setMimeType(getFormat()).setSelectionFlags(getFlag()).setLanguage(getLang()).build();
