Missing french character on some subtitle - eephyne - 2012-12-18

hi , Since i use XBMC i have some files with embedded subtitle where there are missing characters (always éèàê....) , its only on some files so i guess this is because some are in utf8 and those who bug are in ISO-8859-1 (latin-1), i tried all character set in the subtitle settings , nothing change.
When i play those files with another player its all good (vlc, mplayer, totem).

my version of xbmc is the lastest (kidding)

XBMC Media Center 12.0-RC1 Git:49b2d1f
(i use it since 11 and got this issue too so its not related to the version)

i tried remove .xbmc folder , changing character set.

is there something i miss ? Or a way to add iso 8859-1 to character set ?

Sorry if that was already asked , i didn't find anything useful.
thanks

when I have problems like this I usually open the subs and re-save them in utf8

i can't do it , its embedded in mkv , well i can but i need to extract et reinsert them , considering that the files are in a nas , that not a easy way to solve this :/
