Hi,
I have an app that retrieves EPG data via SVDRP, but the enconding (or something related) is fubar and characters like åäö (å ä and ö) are all wrong in the data I display. What is the encoding used for the EPG data? I've tried forcing UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 and whatnot and all I get for those characters is garbage.
What should I really be trying to interpret the data as? My VDR system and the desktop where I run my app use en_US.UTF-8 system but I assume the DVB standard specifies something else for the data?
If I do a normal telnet connection to the SVDRP port and do some LSTE the data is fine, the special characters stay special. PEBKAC, but where?
Best regards, Jan Ekholm

The PEBKAC in this case was that it's better to set encoding etc on the correct stream... As soon as I sent the mail I noticed it. :)
