Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, neither the old export file nor a new one created by 1.36 contains any code page information. In fact, I didn't even try to import the old export.xml file directly. Instead, I copied the "channelgroup" sections from the old export. xml file into a copy of the one created by 1.36.
The old export.xml file is from 2021, so the fix you refer to should already have been in place.
Where do you think MP is getting the code page information? How can I even find out what code page MP is assuming?
For that matter, why does MP even use code pages anymore? Wouldn't UTF be more robust?
Since 1.36 has already entered the channel names with umlauts into its channel list, I am afraid that editing them out of the channelgroups in the XML file will result in a failure to map them properly to the existing channels in the TV Server DB.
If I edit the channel names in the TV Server configuration, then they won't match the EPG anymore. Isn't there a more elegant way to handle this?
