Comment 2 for bug 363116

Hi.

I am also affected by this bug. For the record, I was trying to search for subtitles for a DVD dump (with mplayer -dumpstream etc) from a DVD that I own.

I got some messages on the console:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa2 in position 2: unexpected code byte

I did have a file that isn't UTF-8-encoded on the directory where the video dump was supplied.

Perhaps the code could be a bit more robust by making the the exception trapped and one fallback (say, latin-1) used to decode, before giving up.

Thanks, Rogério Brito.
