Comment:
I can confirm this bug. It happens when a WebVTT file is decoded in
libavcodec/webvttdec.c, function webvtt_event_to_ass. See also line 40's
comment "escape to avoid ASS markup conflicts".
Although removing line 40 would "solve" this particular bug, it may
introduce new problems in other areas of subtitle handling, esp. ASS
markup.
My proposed solution is to change function webvtt_encode_frame in
libavcodec/webvttenc.c to "unescape" the two affected characters "{" and
"}".
I am going to attach a patch that implements this feature.
