International characters
« on: August 18, 2015, 07:26:49 am »

Playing Organlive (http://www.organlive.com – stream http://68.168.97.80:7000/320) through MC gives an incorrect version of international characters in the Player Bar in Standard View.  For example, ü is rendered as ü.  I've tried changing fonts without success.  Any thoughts?

I'm thinking about this one.

I'm guessing the issue is that the radio station presents the data as UTF-8 but we interpret ICY data as ANSI.

I'll give this change a try next build:
Changed: The ICY metadata reader interprets the data it gets as UTF-8 instead of ANSI (will make some international stations appear more correctly).

Matt, I was about to suggest the same thing. Let's just hope that it is not due to the station sending ICY data in ANSI with a Code Page depending on where the station's server is domiciled.

Thanks for that.  The station appears to have a US server and the European one but both seem to have identical content.
