Characters with Macrons are displayed without macrons
Last modified: 2010-05-07 10:25:22 UTC
Unicode characters with macrons over them are displayed on the SB1 as the normal latin character but without the macron. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the SB1 or not. Examples of such letters: Latin Small Letter O with Macron (unicode 014D) is displayed as just o rather than ō Latin Capital Letter U with Macron (unicode 016A) is displayed as just U rather than Ū Media type is FLAC with UTF-8 character encoding. All characters display properly in SqueezeCenter.

QA - can you confirm this on any player? If it's SB1 only, then I'm not sure this is going to be addressed.
Letters with Macrons are displayed properly on the Squeezebox Controller for what that's worth.
How about with the SqueezeBox 2/3? Can you upload a sample file for us to test with
(In reply to comment #3) I don't own a SqueezeBox 2/3, only SB1 and Duet :) It is quite possible that this is "expected behavior" and I kind of assume that the SB1 is End of Life in terms of development on this sort of stuff, so am fully prepared for that to be the answer. I'll upload a file now. > How about with the SqueezeBox 2/3? > > Can you upload a sample file for us to test with
Created attachment 4860 [details] FLAC test file with tags containing characters with macron This is a test file with same tags as one of the FLACs exhibiting the display problems (actual file is 27M). This file specifically uses latin uppercase E with macron The file was generated using: metaflac --export-tags-to=foo.meta <original file> metaflac --import-tags-from=foo.meta testcase.flac Using hexdump, I've ensured that the the test file is using the same character encoding and content as the original.

Same comment as for bug 11175 - I don't understand your comment.
James - could you please elaborate? I don't understand your comment.
sorry about the confusion...ignore my comment #6 On the Web UI - SB2/3 - Transporter - Controller - SqueezePlay I do not see this issue. This appears to be an SB1 issue only
We do not plan to implement any further enhancements to the SB1 product. In the case of this feature, a community contribution would be considered.
