So at the end of the day, there's no way around a proper charset conversion... is there anything I can do to help?
Alexander Riedel announced UTF-8 Patch 0.0.3 on May 12 in this list.
Mmmm, yes, this patch is against 1.3.24, and applying it to 1.3.27 says,
seneca:/usr/local/src/vdr/VDR # patch -p0 --dry-run < ../vdr-utf8-0.0.3.patch-0001.bin patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
It seems nobody cares about this functionality when it was against 1.3.24 and we're now working on 1.3.28. Will 1.3.28 be UTF-8 capable? Klaus, please. I understand you get lots of patches solving only minor and local problems but this is about international use of vdr and IMHO important enough.
This would be very important, indeed, but maybe Klaus sees this different. A patch would be also OK for a while, unfortunately I couldn't patch VDR with UTF-8 support until now (not even that 1.3.24 version, maybe due to other patches). I'd like to contribute to vdradmin in this respect, too (I actually have a littel patch working here, but only for displaying romanian EPG data correctly in vdradmin). I think I'd have to rework this when VDR finally will support UTF-8.
PS: It would be easier to avoid questions like mine (if you wanted to tell me I should look up the archives) if the list archive were searchable. ;-)
You could use snews://snews.gmane.org in your newsreader (I'm using Thunderbird on Windows and Linux) to search, read and post to the VDR ML, it's replicated there really in sync - matter of minutes - and then you might want to turn off email delivery from the ML itself as you could use the newsreader for everything)...
