Description sbjaerum 2005-04-23 11:16:26 UTC

The podcast feed
http://feeds.feedburner.com/UntouchedBeta
contains several audio enclosures with accented characters in the artist name or
song title. These accented characters are displayed correctly when browsing the
audio enclosure list on my SB Graphics edition. However when pressing Now
Playing on the remote, no character is displayed where the accented character
should be. In the Current Playlist in the server web interface a strange looking
? is displayed instead of the accented character. Accompanying this problem, the
following message is repeatedly written to the console:

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x67, immediately
after start byte 0xdc) in unpack at
C:/slim/svn/trunk/server/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 95.

The problem is reproducible.
I am running svn version 3048 on WinXP, and have a SB1 with graphics display.

Thanks to Dan for catching this, apparently we were making an unnecessary call
to utf8::decode().

This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago.  If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it.  Thanks!
