Welcome to the SRT2UTF-8.bundle wiki!

This is an agent for Plex, that will check for sidecar subtitle files, located next to your medias, and convert them into UTF-8 if needed.

So why doing this?

Well....If you're like me, and rip your DVD to put it on Plex, and is running Samsung as a client, then you'll need to use an external sidecar subtitle file. However....My native language use extended characters (Danish), and most srt files found online are sadly encoded in ISO-8859-15 (Western). Outcome is, that native danish characters turn up as garbage on my tv.

So this agent will autocratically check if the external srt-file is encoded in utf-8, and if not, then make a backup of it, and then convert it.

This plugin is in no way associated with Plec Inc.. It's merely a humble plugin, trying to improve on perfection. Use of this plugin is at own risk, no responsibility is taken from either Plex Inc.. or the developers of this plugin
