Okay… I see. And you say VLC displays them correctly… I wonder if it has anything to do with the encoding the subs are in. Still though. Why would VLC play them fine. Can you open the sub up in say, Notepad and goto saveAs. What is the encoding set to? ANSI? UTF-8?

Every thing was functioning just fine 2 weeks ago, then i have updated Plex and updated my windows and now I do not know which update has ruined everything up?

Ah-ha. Thanks for the clarification… So, is that a decode thing? Meaning it doesn’t matter the system that originally saved the subtitle file. It only needs that local codepage when you try to SaveAs from the downloaded original?
