Description

Please be sure to investigate the possible issues with creating proper arabic text. For example, on my Samsung Galaxy s2, and previously Motorola Milestone, the default arabic text font displays without letters being "connected" this would be similar to w r i t i n g e n g l i s h l i k e this or writingenglishlikethis. On the Motorola Milestone, simply setting the default language for the device to be arabic solved the problem, but then all menus and text were in arabic. That is to say, while I'm not sure what the exact root of the problem is, it should be solvable.

I don't think this will be a problem because we are using the underlying ffmpeg code for the rendering of text.

Abel - can you provide some sample Arabic text that might cause a problem?

#5 Updated by abeluck over 5 years ago

Sure, you'll probably want to visit this page on your phone and copy/paste the text in. Otherwise you can download the Arabic Keyboard from Play. A Headline from BBC Arabic:

???: ???????? ??? ??? ???

Um, did that get eaten by redmine?

#7 Updated by n8fr8 over 5 years ago

I did see the text in my email, but it does seem like it got eaten here on the site.

There is no functionality to add titles to video in the current design. Therefore this is not v1 critical.
