Hi,
It seems, that the encoding of the epg.data file is utf-8, but sometimes, there are lines like this:
C S19.2E-133-3-263 18:00 GRÖD - RBS
The "Ö" is one byte (0xD6) that seems not conform to utf-8 encoding.
How could I avoid such characters in the epg.data file please?
Have you tried this (from the VDR “INSTALL” file)?
Workaround for providers not encoding their DVB SI table strings correctly --------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to "ETSI EN 300 468" the default character set for SI data is ISO6937. But unfortunately some broadcasters actually use ISO-8859-9 or other encodings, but fail to correctly announce that. Users who want to set the default character set to something different can do this by using the command line option --chartab with something like ISO-8859-9.
