Downloading now... Does anybody know if LG has release notes for each firmware version they're releasing? -

WebOS vs Old SmartTV's Menu

So I have VERY good news. I managed to fix the issue with the help from LG Hellas! There is a very nicely hidden menu in WebOS which allows you to change the encoding of the subtitles. Steps: 1) Play your movie 2) When you see weird characters appears with your subtitles hit Pause. 3) In the Pause menu click on the little arrow on the right hand side. 4) Click on the button that says 'Sub' 5) Click on External 6) There is the hidden menu! 7) Select Code Page 8) Here is the bug. Try Greek first. It didn't fully work for me. Some characters still appeared like chinese. The solution for now is to select Simplified Chinese. That did the trick for me all characters appeared fine after that. LG told me that they are going to look into the issue because Greek should work. Hopefully that solves the issue! -

Changing an srt file to UTF-8 does not work very well for me either. As williamsats mentioned half of the rendered lines are fine and half are gibberish. I have the latest firmware too. Seems like a bug in their decoder. -

webOS - Greek Subtitle enconding issue
sirival replied to smioannou's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
Greek subtitles are indeed not displayed correctly. If you convert your subtitles to UTF-8 then some lines are displayed correctly and other lines are gibberish. This definitely looks like a bug in WebOS, please fix it as it makes watching subtitled movies impossible.
