Description Rainer Ritter 2008-12-17 00:18:23 UTC
Hello

I´m very glad, that there is now the possibility to read the reviews and biographs of listened tracks/albums/artists comming from the Amazon database.

But there is one big issue: When i read the german reviews then the german "Umlaut"-characters (ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü and ß) are not shown right (only cryptic!), what makes the text almost unreadable, depending on the ammount of those characters in the text.

Thanks in advance for solving,

Best Regards,
Rainer

Lack of Amazon.ch I can't reproduce this. How do you access that information? Connected to SN or SC? Are these tracks downloaded from Amazon, or information downloaded from Amazon for your local tracks?

Hallo Michael

Die Informationen bekomme ich auf den Controller über den normalen Menüpunkt "on Amazon" unter "weitere Informationen" wenn ich einen beliebigen Titel spiele und über das besagte Menü und die Bewertungssterne zu den Reviews, die auf Amazon hinterlegt sind, komme.

Ich verwende die neueste Nightly SC7.3.1 auf einem QNAP-NAS.

Gruß,
Rainer

Sorry, vergessen:

Das Problem tritt bei Abspielen über SC auf. Auf SN habe ich es allerdings auch noch gar nicht probiert. Bin gerade im Geschäft, drum kann ich frühestens heute Abend schauen, nach dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Basel. ;-)

Rainer

Andy - while names, labels etc. are correct, reviews aren't correctly encoded. The content clearly is utf8, but it shows broken umlauts, accented characters etc. Is this an interface issue with them?

Rainer - please comment in EN only (if possible). Thanks!

Changing target to next release

I assume the problem also exists in the player UI and web UI?

Hi Andy,

Yes it does, beside the issue getting often the menu of "On LastFM Radio" in "On Amazon" and/or in "more Information". But that is a different bug.

Punting bugs that won't make it for the next release.

No more work done on Amazon integration.
