[QUOTE="RubaDuck7, post: 60509, member: 21523"] Almost worked. Maybe this qualifies as a bug. ;) - I added the city 'Turku, Finland'. - Then I edited Mediaportal.xml, replacing 'Turku, Finland' with 'Ã…bo' (the swedish name which contains a Scandinavian character). - After this, Mediaportal does not start, only flashes the splash screen for a second. - Changing 'Ã…bo' to 'Abo' allows MediaPortal to start properly again. - On the weather screen, the same 'Turku, Finland' text is displayed. - Selecting 'City' brings up the selection dialog with the item name 'Abo' displayed. So changing the text in the xml file only updates the UI partially (in the least visible part ;) and Scandinavian chars stops the show completely(!). Hopefully some kind soul will improve things, for instance by adding the aforementioned display name property. :) [/QUOTE]
