PlayingNow & Unicode
« on: February 19, 2008, 04:30:46 pm »

PN 1.3.0.10, MC 12.0.438. Text with Czech special letters is not shown correctly. Is there any way to enable it? Or PN cannot do it at all?

Thanks for any ideas

Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Try removing "charset=iso-8859-1" in the head tag in index.html.

neFAST, I *think* you're referring to trackinfo templates, while the OP is referring to Rhinobanga's PlayingNow plugin.

So any other idea?

The current version of PN is not unicode aware.

Hm I see... When will be a newer (Unicode) version available?
Should I install some older (Unicode aware) version?

J River now own the code to PN however at the time of purchase (July '06) I was making some progress towards a unicode version.   I expect if/when JR implement PN functionality into the core of MC it will be made fully unicode compatible.

Oh snap!  I have just noticed the plugin does not support unicode myself.  I know this is an old thread, but...  I am currently using Media Jukebox, is there any hope for me to get MSN playing now with unicode?

I'm still keen too!  I've noticed a few features that aren't entirely unicode compliant; exporting playlists, for one (other than playing now).  While I understand that certain playlist filetypes are not traditionally meant to be unicode, I'm pretty sure that some programs will read it if it is regardless, and it might be useful for such an option.

Especially since for my mobile devices, I use .m4a, and because of this, use an external encoder.  And because of this, the .flac filesizes are used to measure what will fit on the external drive, and so instead it's easier to have a playlist within the player, but export the playlist and use a different one to convert the files. .. only, I can't, because I have unicode filenames and folders, and the program won't read native filetypes to MC/MJ!

There are other peculiarities, like the fact that the toolbar mouse over does not display unicode, as well.

If any of these codes are not within the right for JRiver to alter, I am surprised they are still released with the software!  (At least, I didn't think I'd downloaded plugins...  Maybe I forgot..?)
