[QUOTE="madmat17, post: 20612, member: 14207"] Hi James, Welcome back from vacation! 8) I guess, WebEPG looks for the char-set in the meta data within the HTML header. If it does, my idea is the following: [list] [*]WebEPG could grabb one or two pages with the encoding stated by the HTML code (in the current case iso8895-1), write them into a temporary XML file and look for special characters. If special character are found, take the stated char-set for grabbing. [*]If no special character could be found, try one char-set after another ([url]http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets[/url]). If no special character could be found at all, use the stated encoding, if special characters could be found, use the according char-set. [/list] I know, that's a long winded one, so here's another idea: The person, who writes the grabber, could define the char-set in the grabber-XML, and if no char-set is defined, use the char-set, which is defined by the meta-tag on the HTML page. :idea: Cheers, Mat [/QUOTE]
