[vdr] Converting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Dear experts,

I am currently trying to convert a string to ISO-8859-1 using the following code fragment:

cCharSetConv conv(NULL, "ISO-8859-1"); const char *s_converted = conv.Convert(string);

Running VDR with UTF-8, this conversion failes (i.e., s_converted == string). This is due to the fact, that cCharSetConv::SystemCharacterTable contains "NULL" instead of "UTF-8". This is because systemCharacterTable is never set:

void cCharSetConv::SetSystemCharacterTable(const char *CharacterTable) { free(systemCharacterTable); systemCharacterTable = NULL; if (!strcasestr(CharacterTable, "UTF-8")) { .. systemCharacterTable = strdup(CharacterTable); } }

Is there a reason for this?

The conversion works fine, if I use "UTF-8" instead of "NULL": cCharSetConv conv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");

Best Regards, Joachim.
