Dewplayer-playlist (-cover) + UTF-8 song titles

Sorry, for my English.

Just wanted to say that dewplayer is great but i found a little problem with the playlist and playlist-cover versions.

The player bar (or playing song) shows UTF-8 ID3 tags no problems, but the dropdown playlist does not. for russian/chinese/japenese UTF-8 song titles, just appear empty. but if you click on the bar, the song will play and the title, etc will be correctly displayed in the playing song bar.

you can see by example on sjr.greatsouthernwines.com.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

Just to rid out that possibility, could you configure the server to serve this file with an UTF-8 encoding? Right now it's:

Content-Type: text/plain

And you would need:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

(This probably won't fix anything, but just in case...)

Hi Florent,

I don't think that is the problem because the file names are all in iso-8859-1.
It is only the ID3 information in the playlist.xspf which is in utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<trackList>
<track>

</trackList>
</playlist>

Not sure, this forum supports utf-8, but in the example above only the song title is using non Latin characters. It is the second song in my list.

I guess the song player is reading the actual ID3 tag from the file rather than the xml playlist file for info? but the song list is reading the xml playlist file?

cheers
