Nordic characters in for example Yle Areena subtitles. (1 Viewer)

Hi.

I had Ä ä ö Ö showing like ä etc...

I changed line 2452 in GuiOnlineVideos.cs, ie.

 string subs = string.IsNullOrEmpty(playItem.Video.SubtitleText) ? Sites.SiteUtilBase.GetWebData(playItem.Video.SubtitleUrl) : playItem.Video.SubtitleText;

to

string subs = string.IsNullOrEmpty(playItem.Video.SubtitleText) ? Sites.SiteUtilBase.GetWebData(playItem.Video.SubtitleUrl, null, null, null, true, false, null, null) : playItem.Video.SubtitleText;

meaning forcing utf-8.

Now characters are presented Okay.

Hm we can't use this as a generic fix, because it forces all downloaded subtitles to utf-8, which might be wrong. We have to options to set subs on a video, once as url and once as the actual text - using the later would give the chance to use a custom encoding.

Strange, I thought Yle areena was down, can you verify please?
If it's working, I can transform the text to utf-8 in the util

 

[te3hpurp]

Yes it working fine. I use it daily.

 

[doskabouter]

Great!

I've fixed the subtitle issue. I can't test it here due to geo-restrictions. Can you check if it's working ok?

 

[te3hpurp]

Yes. Sure,Thanks.

I'm going to weekend trip, but, i'll test it when I get back in Monday

Hi.

I reverted my changes, and fetched all updates, and compiled
new dll's, but Mp says that Onlinevideos is not compatible with this version of
MediaPortal. Is assemblyinfo.cs that I should change for correct version number
or, where?

You'll need revision 2835 of that file if you want it to work with MP 1.3

Okay, I was trying to test doskabouter fix for yle subtitles. Are they in 2835 rev, or how to build compatible version....

Simply get latest SVN ander after that replace AssemblyInfo.cs with this:
https://mp-onlinevideos2.googlecode...ideos.MediaPortal1/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs
then compile -> resulting plugin dll will be 1.3 compatible.
