| Subject: | subtitles in SRT UTF-8 with BOM considered invalid |
If I give a file in SRT format with UTF-8 character encoding with the
BOM (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF) at the start of the file to "subs", it yields an
error:
{{{
Error loading '...':Invalid line numbering at line 1
}}}
If I delete the BOM, the error is gone. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark , the Unicode Standard does
permit the BOM in UTF-8. "subs" should read subtitles in UTF-8 with the BOM.
