[but the fact that we need a VPN to watch it (for obvious RU reasons)

I can download without VPN.

Hi all,

I am trying to open that video and it is still not working. I do not think that this is a VPN related thing only russian users.

[AkulaBig]

It only works for me if I download it to my computer.

You can try my plugin build. I don't know how to help you anymore.

Thank you so much for your help, I am very grateful to you!
Unfortunately, it didn't work either
I suppose it has something to do with the fonts and encoding tables on my system and how TC handles them, because even on a completely pristine TC installed in a different location, only with the uLister plugin, I'm facing the same issue.
The thing that made me think so was the display of krakozyabrs (gibberish) instead of Russian characters, despite the correct font settings in the Configuration -> Font window.
For example:

Well, then the situation is even worse, if it's not just problems with the embedded YouTube player,
A video stream that many of our users simply cannot see.
Because there is some degradation of speed and access to their YT-servers.

What about the system-wide locale setting regarding the using of Unicode fonts:
Язык программ, не поддерживающих Юникод -> выбран Русский (Россия)?

What browser do you use?
Safari and all Chrome based browsers support H.265 (HEVC) by default, but in Firefox you need to turn it on manually by setting
media.wmf.hevc.enabled to 1 in about:config

PS. I made the screencast using OBS studio in the MKV container and only changed it in Avidemux to MP4 because Github doesn't like MKV.

I don't know why and in what program you recorded this video, but the fact that we need a VPN to watch it (for obvious RU reasons)

I apologize for such a blunder that I posted on the blocked on russia Github, because the constant power outages and exploding debris of russian missiles not far away don't exactly allow me to focus on these details.
For example, today we had power only from 00:00 to 01:00, 07:30 to 10:30 and just now at 16:00. It will be turned off again at 19:00. Yesterday the debris of the russian missile fell at a distance of about 1-2 km from me.

What about the system-wide locale setting regarding the using of Unicode fonts:

Language for non-Unicode programs is set to russian(russia).

Perhaps, but for an English text the krakozyabrs should not be a hindrance.

Yes, but in my case TC itself handles scripts somewhat oddly, as can be seen in my screenshots where the Cyrillic script was chosen, but TC still had problems displaying Cyrillic characters in the Configuration -> Font window.

I have had a look at the implementation of the ulister plugin: It only implements ListSearchText, but not ListSearchTextW. To ensure that the plugin receives the correctly encoded text, make sure to implement ListSearchTextW. It shouldn't be difficult, it just uses WCHAR* instead of char* for the SearchString parameter.

When you use the Russian language in TC with an English OS locale, wincmd.ini must be saved in Unicode.

Only two options are available (supported by Windows ini functions): ANSI and/or UTF-16LE with BOM (1200).
E.g., if your ini saved in UTF-8 (65001), resave it in UTF-16LE with BOM (1200).

Thank you very much for participating in this discussion.
Could you please take a look at why krakozyabrs (gibberish) appear in the Configuration -> Font window?
Here is the pristine installation of TC:
1. TC was downloaded from here https://totalcommander.ch/1103/tcmd1103x64.exe
2. it was installed, and wincmd.ini was converted, as AntonyD suggested, to UTF-16LE with BOM (1200) using Notepad++ https://imgur.com/rUrAAQv
3. then nothing else was done except setting charsets in the Configutation -> Font window into Cyrillic and installing the uLister plugin

Why does TC still show gibberish instead of Cyrillic characters https://imgur.com/fRPOo46?

Thank you both so much for your efforts, but unfortunately it still doesn't work:(

You have a problem with fonts in OS, not in TC. This is what the line should look like in wincmd.ini
