TextEncodings

Text whose encoding nobody stated, read as the player reads a subtitle file (#423): by its byte-order mark, as UTF-8 when its bytes are valid UTF-8, and otherwise in the single-byte table its bytes read most likely in, such as windows-1251 for Russian or windows-1252 for French. An internet radio station's song titles arrive this way, often not in UTF-8, as mpv found.

Functions

decode

fun decode(bytes: ByteArray, languageHint: String? = null): String

bytes as text. languageHint, a language the text is likely in, settles a reading the bytes leave close and never overrules a clear one. A byte no table reads becomes U+FFFD.
