If I make this change and run VDR with

export LANG=de_DE.iso8859-15

I get a NULL pointer from the setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") call. Only with

export LANG=de_DE.iso8859-1

do I get a non-NULL result. Am I missing something here?

Do you have a de_DE.iso8859-15 installed? It's called de_DE@euro here (yes, that naming is "a bit" strange).

You can check with "locale -a | grep de" to find the installed locales for "de". If no suitable locale is there, you can use locale-gen (at least on Debian and Gentoo) or localedef to install the missing locale.
