Special characters
Special characters
We are a german webradio and - naturely - we play a lot of german song. Our problem is: the special characters will allways be displayed wrong.
Is there a way to fix this without rename all our files.

if you would like to see how it looks like.
Thanks - DJ Henry, Webmaster

Re:
Shame, as special characters cause RTB to die on my server. Is there a way to make it ignore them, rather just quit?Jay wrote:Radiotoolbox uses a similar encoding as shoutcast so this isn't something we can fix.

Re: Special characters
Can you post a url to your stream? I am currently testing unicode support in the new Radio Toolbox application.

It's not 24/7 (yet), but you might catch something on between 9pm and 4am GMT.Jay wrote:Can you post a url to your stream? I am currently testing unicode support in the new Radio Toolbox application.

It's been dying even without special characters too, but less often in that case.

Re: Special characters
Ah yea, Steamcast and Icecast support in Radio Toolbox is pretty flaky with 1.1.1. They were kind of wedged in there after the product had been developed just for SHOUTcast. Another reason why I am working on a total rewrite.
Your stream has been down both times I have checked the server so far.

Actually, by accident, I found that it doesn't crash if it's not minimised! It's showing special characters as I type.Jay wrote:Ah yea, Steamcast and Icecast support in Radio Toolbox is pretty flaky with 1.1.1.

Not surprised you missed broadcasts - the station is still in its infancy and doesn't have an auto DJ yet.

Re: Special characters
Strange. Well I caught the end of your show and didn't see any special characters, your server is in my list now at least so I can catch it later.
