[Bug] Lost spaces in summary (#Plot) after words with length 4 and less (1 Viewer)

[ShIvADeSt]

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.0
MediaPortal Skin: DefaultWide
I have in video database in Summary field for example such text "this is mother". But when I start media portal (not configurator) in summary I read that "this ismother" - no space after IS. I check and found that if word' length is less or equal 4 chars space after word is truncated. Fix it please

Could you zip your videodatabase file (if it's not a problem) and post it here. I'm curious what char code is behind y,k and Ho.

Ok thx for files, I will check it out (no problem about chars, I can read Cyrillic letters and understand a little Russian )

Can you tell what scrapper you use, there is a problem in characters because they are not properly decoded in script. Spaces in you your examples are not real spaces so you have chars which are not allowed in HTML into character-entity equivalents so they must be decoded first to reverse the encoding.

Its a kinopoisk scrapper, written specially for russian site - kinopoisk.ru - full film base with russian description and etc. But it's very strange, coz I use this grabber at least 1 year and MP 1.1.0 show summary without losing spaces.
I open hml code of page and saw it (  after problem words)
у озера Виктория готовятся к пра Но ночное землетрясени
I think that early MP just show this non-space symbol but now it stripped from text

There was a changes in font engine within MP so maybe that introduced your problem, in plain NET forms, as you can see, they are shown as spaces and also while debugging text is OK in variables, but when those chars ends within texture engine result is connected words.

We can do 3 things:

1. Add HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(string) in script (MP code will stay untouched, but you will have to refresh your movies with new script)
2. I can add HttpUtility.HtmlDecode in skin properties (not a problem but we will need to wait next release)
3. Change font texture engine (which I doubt it will be done)

Finally, I saw you movie collection and it's very well populated, if you're satisfied with script result I can add it to a standard scripts for MP so script can be fetched/refreshed as other MP script via configuration.


I would like comments from the Team about those 3 options above and what to do.

In scrapper script I found this
result = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(result);
and nothing happend, all   still as symbol 0xA0. So I add this line in scrapper
result = Regex.Replace(result, @"\xA0", " ");
and now all scrapped correct. All I need is update summary for all files. Its simple SQL call.
for advice about wrong symbol code and HtmlDecode - it's give me a sign how to improve.
