[Approved] Support of ISO/IEC 10646-1(UTF-16) text encoding in DVB (Channel names, EPG, etc.) (1 Viewer)

[AlexPlas]

Hello

I have found a problem with DVB texts when provider sends information in UTF-16 encoding (actually it was tested on <DVBSBridge for IPTV> virtual TV card).

CDvbUtil::getString468A function breaks UTF-16 strings and all Unicode characters with codes greater that 0xFF become unreadable.

I have changed CDvbUtil::getString468A function to reencode UTF-16 strings in UTF-8.

[god_md5]

Problem with lost last character is fixed. I have updated the patch in first post.
god_md5 also complains of Unicode character 0x2162 (Ⅲ) which is somewhere translated into three I characters. I have rechecked my new code and DvbTextConverter class and both them do not perform such translation.

 

[god_md5]

my means is not a complan ,and add this patch is my hope.
thank you.
the unicode character is not change to three I,is change to "0xEF 0xBF 0xBD"REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
Unicode Character 'REPLACEMENT CHARACTER' (U+FFFD)
