error on recognizing some UTF-16 and UTF files about cvt2utf HOT 2 CLOSED

@UVJkiNTQ
Thank you for your feedback along with detailed information

• the SW-030GAMERS.cue file in your zip, sorry but that file looks good. is there any problem?

• the SW-030GAMERS.log file. Yes it's totally scrambled.

The reason: cvt2utf relies on a 3rd-party tool called chardet to detect codc/charsets. chardet is generally good, but it has a cryptic and confusing probabilistic model, which makes the codec erroneously detected in certain cases. In order to ameliorate this problem, our cvt2utf uses some tricks. However, these tricks may break or fail in other cases...

At this moment, you can follow the instruction below to temporarily solve this flaw

1. git clone or download the source code
2. go to Line 20 of cvt2utf/main.py
3. drop the latin-1, so as to make it look like 'codec_chain': ['ascii', 'utf_8_sig', 'chardet'],
4. go to terminal / cmd, cd to the cvt2utf folder (the upper cvt2utf folder, not the lower sub-folder), run python3 -m cvt2utf.main convert "./error" -i log (change the path to your path)

As a result, it can be correctly recognized as UTF-16 and transcoded to Latin-1. I tried on my machine and the generated SW-030GAMERS.log looks good.
let me know if you run into any further problem

Note 1: cvt2utf8 is not intended for general users, instead, it aims at coding-savvy users . Though I've tried my best to make it easy to use, yet still, users are expected to understand how it works.........

Note 2: dropping latin-1 may work in this case, but may break things in other cases....

That cue seems good. I am sorry for that. It just looks bad in nano.
I will try the workaround.
Thanks.
