 |
|
I know this topic has been brought up before, and I honestly made every attempt to solve it myself before posting, but I can't seem to get it to work. The characters still come through as garble in both the status.xsl page and in the media player itself.
I added this to my icecast.xml file per my research (substituting in my mount name):
<mount>
<mount-name>/Stream</mount-name>
<charset>UTF-8</charset>
</mount>
It didn't work for me. I also made sure to install the Unicode libraries. I'm using Icecast 2.3.2, Ices 0.4, on Ubuntu Server 11.04.
Can anyone help me please? |

Are the characters in the metadata being sent to icecast in UTF8, if not then you need to determine which character set they are in and set that in the <charset> setting you have. non-ogg streams default to Latin1 by default so you'll need to set it to something but I don't know if that is utf8 or not.

Thanks for the reply Karl.
I'm not really sure how to determine what character set the metadata is in, but it doesn't appear to fix the problem using UTF-8, UTF-16, or SHIFT_JIS.
I don't know what other chatset it could possibly be. =( |
