could it be that the issue is caused by github.com/asticode/go-astisub which is being used in http/subtitle.go?

File Browser is archived on 2026-09-01 and there will be no further releases, bug fixes, or security fixes, so I'm closing the remaining open issues rather than leaving them looking actionable. Thank you for taking the time to report it.

@hacdias thank you for all the time, effort and love you've put into the project, including taking time to reflect on it in your blog and defining where you stand; very much appreciated, and perfectly understandable too!
