replace_string(strText, "‏", "\0xE2\0x80\0xAB");
replace_string(strText, "‎", "\0xE2\0x80\0xAA");

replace_string(strText, "\0xE2\0x80\0xAB", "\0xE2\0x80\0xAA");
If the full stop in the Arabic subtitle lines still at the left end of the lines in the movie "1922", then my thought is right.

the problem is in my country i can't do tests (like 1922 or Bright)
most of Arabic streams are not listed in (Kodi) subtitles languages, becouse are not in webvtt type, but in image type
you can move the conversation on github because it's hard for me to follow here

1922 movie:
Bright:
In both case the dot (.) are to the left not to the right
the dot are not on the right
so I don't understand why they're different from you?

So you're telling me that all the subtitles displayed in the browser are wrong?

If it stays with the sound bar-connected output, disable features like Dolby Digital Plus, HDCP, HDR etc. one after the other on that box. Or the other way around - get vanilla playback working with all enhancements disabled and build up from there.
