i never tried from VLC (i.e in creating screenshots) but MPC totally work all try MPC-HC (the only thing annoying about MPC sometiems you can't create screenshots so you have to change video outputing from overlay mix to uncompressed)


Here is other possibilities form server side
missing curl support
missing GD and/or ImageMagick (forgot what TSSE uses)

for you language to work properly use Notepad++ to edit in Unicode mode or whatever you use, i use Dreamweaver somehow it works pretty good for me just to save the files :) and you will notice proper encoding unless you get both overall header and footer lanugage files fixed and whatever sandwiched between but eventually it should show properly
