Bugzilla – Bug 6153
Swedish characters in m3u-playlists displayed wrong
Last modified: 2007-11-20 10:42:06 UTC
I have some m3u-playlists with Swedish characters in, e.g. Å/å Ä/ä and Ö/ö. These are displayd wrong both in the Squeezecenter web UI and the player. Yes I know these are funny characters but we actually use them in our end of the world, it is hard to forbid local artists to stop using these characters in their song and album titles... E.g. "Göteborgspop.m3u" becomes "Göteborgspop" "Kent 16 låtar.m3u" becomes "Kent 16 lÃ¥tar" "Pippi på de 7 haven.m3u" becomes "Pippi pÃ¥ de sju haven" /Stefan
Is this the same as bug 4578 ?
I have no idea if it is the same as 4578? /Stefan
I mean, I can only describe the end user excperience, and I can not judge if it is caused of the same bug. /Stefan
I suspect it is the same as that bug. We do actually worry about other countries' characters even if they are funny looking. Stefan may I ask what version of Ubuntu you are running? Was there anything unusual about your installation? Did you just install from the normal distro CD or DVD? Did you install Slimserver by adding our debian server to your sources.list? Or did you download a tarball or some other package? Thanks for any info!
Hi' I hope you understood it was a joke about the funny looking characters! My Ubuntu install was first 7.04 fresh from downloaded CD/DVD and then upgraded to 7.10 through: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I had an interupt throughout the installation in the configuration phase, but restarted that part and I did not see any more error messages after that. After that I did add: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main to /etc/apt/source.list updated apt and then installed the server /Stefan
adding myself to cc list to take a look at this
can you attach a sample playlist? (use the "create new attachment" link) also go into server settings->status and paste here what the server info line shows. it will be something like: SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - TRUNK - Debian - EN - utf8 this will help for reproducing locally.
Created attachment 2428 [details] Playlist with swedish caracters Hi, Here's one of the playlists. It was imported in an earlier release and I just updated my server to SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 14863 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1 But I still do experience teh same issues. /Stefan
The playlist was created from iTunes with the program iTunesExport.UI-1.3.2 /Stefan
To be specific, this playlist was creatd with the program mentioned, but I do have other playlists with swedish caracters that are created wit other programs that are wrong too. /Stefan
