Appreciate your efforts in making this player.

• I've old tracks that have metadata in arabic/urdu and they're in large number(so cannot change them manually). vmp doesn't seems to render their metadata correctly. Refer below

• Used this command:
  vmp -l /mnt/win/Music --font=/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoNaskhArabicUI-Regular.ttf

and tested with these fonts

• /usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansArabic-Light.ttf: Noto Sans Arabic,Noto Sans Arabic Light:style=Light,Regular

Hi! Thank you for using vmp! This issue is very strange, unicode fonts should work out of the box, maybe reading out the id3 tags has some problems. Does ffmpeg -i xy.mp3 or ffmpeg -i xy.mp3 -f ffmetadata in.txt work on these files and do they contain correct fonts?

Yeah ffmpeg is working on the files. Here's the content of in.txt.
