[QUOTE="FreakyJ, post: 1019562, member: 106003"] Okay I made some progress: In the old code there we took every byte once after another and cast it as char (unicode). I changed it now that we collect the bytes in a new byte array until we get to the delimiter which is 0. Now I can take the byte array and convert it to a string using a specific encoding. The question is now how can I determine which is the src encoding of the cam?! eg. I now have something like this: Default uses the system encoding, the problem: if the cam uses something different than the system we get garbage. Also if I assume that we get UTF-8 and the Cam sends ASCII we get again garbage :/ At least I didn't got a reasonable result as I used UTF-8. I even don't know which encoding my cam is sending... my current code: [CODE]List<string> entries = new List<string>(); byte[] entryArray = null; string entry = string.Empty; int entryCount = 0; for (int i = 1; i < length; i++) { if (content[i] == 0) { //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK3"); //IntPtr unmanagedPointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(entryArray.Length); //Marshal.Copy(entryArray, 0, unmanagedPointer, entryArray.Length); //entry += DvbTextConverter.Convert(unmanagedPointer, ""); entry += System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(entryArray, 0, entryArray.Length); //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK4"); entries.Add(entry); entryCount++; entry = string.Empty; entryArray = null; } else { //if ((content[i] >= 32 && content[i] <= 126) || (content[i] >= 192 && content[i] <= 255)) //{ if (entryArray != null) { //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK1"); byte[] newArray = new byte[entryArray.Length + 1]; //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK1.1"); entryArray.CopyTo(newArray, 0); //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK1.2"); newArray[newArray.Length - 1] = content[i]; //TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK1.3"); entryArray = newArray; } else { entryArray = new byte[1]; entryArray[0] = content[i]; } TvLibrary.Log.Log.Debug("OK2"); //} //else //{ // entry += ' '; //} } } entries.Add(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(entryArray, 0, entryArray.Length));[/CODE] [I]any inputs?![/I] [/QUOTE]
