There's something that drives me crazy for a few hours and I couldn't find a proper solution yet.

I want to watch a movie and jellyfin can't properly detect the encoding of the subtitle. Some of the characters in that subtitle (Romanian) got displayed with some exclamation mark boxes, searching a little online I've found that changing the subtitle file to utf-8 will fix the issue but now I have another one. Characters like "ă" "â" "î" "ș" "ț" are replaces with random characters, and I haven't managed to find a way to change their encoding to be displayed correctly

Is there a way to change subtitles encoding?
