Description narya 2005-04-12 04:36:23 UTC

In the player (Squeezebox) UI every accented character gets replaced by _two_ 
strange characters (unicode representation or something?). This happens 
everywhere I look (Browse music, Now playing, Playlists).

In the web UI everything looks fine.

I'm sure dan will have some questions on your setup.

Comment 2 narya 2005-04-12 10:30:47 UTC

Sure, ask along ... I can provide some info for free ;-)

Sever runs on Windows XP Pro (German edition), reading from my iTunes 
(4.7.1.30, English version) xml database file. Slimserver is the 6.0.1 04/12 
nightly.

Accented characters displayed fine in 6.0.1 04/08 nightly.

Anything else?

Comment 3 Dan Sully 2005-04-12 13:53:02 UTC

Can you please upload your iTunes .xml file?

Which tracks in particular are having issues?

Thanks.

Comment 4 narya 2005-04-13 00:44:36 UTC

Every track, album, artist, genre with a non ASCII-7 character (mainly German 
umlauts and French accented characters) in its name won't display correctly on 
my Squeezebox display - nowhere.

I'll try uploading my xml file, but it's near 35 MB ...

Comment 5 Dan Sully 2005-04-13 00:47:34 UTC

If you zip the xml file, it should compress quite a lot.

Thanks.

Comment 6 narya 2005-04-13 00:48:58 UTC

Sure, that cuts it down to less than 2 MB - guess I havn't had enough coffee 
this morning :-/

My iTunes library xml file as requested by Dan.

Comment 8 narya 2005-04-13 00:53:26 UTC

Sorry, didn't mean ASCII-7, but rather ASCII-8 ...

Comment 9 narya 2005-04-13 00:54:19 UTC

Or didn't I - I'm getting confused now, I have to dig up those old tables and 
make sure I know what I'm talking about ...

Comment 10 Vidur Apparao 2005-04-21 11:57:55 UTC

Is this a graphical Squeezebox or one with the character display?

Comment 11 Vidur Apparao 2005-04-21 13:16:11 UTC

Answered my own question - I was able to recreate the problem with a character
display SB...and then found that Michael Herger had fixed it in the trunk with
change 3011. I moved it to the 6.0.2 branch with change 3029. Should be in the
branch nightly builds by tomorrow.

Comment 13 narya 2005-04-21 21:06:43 UTC

Thanks, Vidur! Yes, it is an "original" SB here. I'll try the 04/21 nightly 
and let you know if it's OK now. (Or should I wait for the 04/22 - I'm always 
getting confused with the time shift for Europe ...

Comment 14 narya 2005-04-21 21:18:16 UTC

The 04/21 didn't fix it, so I guess I'll just wait for the 04/22 to appear ...

Comment 15 narya 2005-04-23 02:59:48 UTC

Yes, accented characters seem to be fine now with the 04/22.

Thanks to Vidur and Michael!
