This is just a tiny issue that has annoyed me a bit, and i think it's a easy fix. We have three national and common letters in Norway, and those are Æ, Ø and Å (non capital = æ, ø and å). But for some reason, they are replaced by the "equal" Swedish letters Ä, Ö (ä and ö). Å is still the same in both languages, and i haven't noticed anything wrong with that one.

I've seen this bug since 1.0 Beta 2 (when i started to use MP), but haven't got around to complain until now.

Well, i deleted my logs, and tried 5 channels; TV1000 Family, Canal+ Drama and Canal+ Comedy, Discovery World and Discovery Science. I observe the bug i'm reporting on all the Canal+ channels and all the TV1000 channels, but not on the Discovery channels. I believe it's not like this on a regular independent tuner, the kind you'll get for one buck when you buy a subscription for a channel package. so my hope is that there's a solution.

I've also experienced that "SWE" is Norwegian and "NOR" is Swedish some times, but i guess that's a error from the provider....?​

I don't have this problem here in Denmark. Maybe another Norwegian can confirm?

Are we talking about subtitles in MyTV, some mkv or DVD?

Nope, i'm talking about DVB-subtitles (not teletext) for DVB-S(2)-channels...i can post screenshots lather if that would help you...

Actually some logs might be a good idea as the _bugreport gideline_ allready demands for every report.

Hi,
Needs logs for this & is it on some specific channels (i know some channels have this on my stb too, so doesn't have to be MP that's the buggy here)?

Regards

DVB subtitles are broadcast as bitmaps. My earlier comment was based on it being teletext, where the issue would likely be seen.
Edit: Logs and a screenshot would help.
Edit2: I just see that logs have been attached to first post. Logs show it being teletext subtitles. Language is detected as "nor" (correct). arion_p did some work on this not so long ago... Maybe he can help.

Looking at the code, conversion of those characters is done only for Danish. The language is taken from the DVB stream language descriptor just like Seidelin noted (not from regional settings as I thought). Of course if the language is not specified in the descriptor (as it happen in some broadcasts) not mapping will be done at all.

Currently the mapping for Danish is:

\u00C4 =>  \u00C6
\u00D6 => \u00D8
\u00E4 => \u00E6
\u00F6 => \u00F8

Can someone confirm that it also applies to Norwegian too. If not, please supply a mapping (please use the above notation to avoid ANSI/Unicode conversion errors) so that we can add it.

Norvegian and danish letters are the same, so this conversion would also be the same. 29 letters, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Æ Ø Å

Try this Core.dll, if it works, I will commit the changes.
Also see if the same characters work in teletext. If I am correct and you have reg. settings Norwegian, teletext should have the same problem.
