Problem with encoding

mmitechnic · 6th May 2013, 12:52

Hello i have a problem with the shoutcast v.2.0.0.29. In the song history when I am playing a song with Greek characters the song shows unreadable characters. Any way to correct the encoding? Thanks in advance.

most title issues are due to the source software being used not providing titles in the correct encoding (though there might be a few minor bugs in the DNAS itself which may cause it as well).

so without knowing the source being used and also what the incorrect titles look like, it's hard to say where the fault is. and i am assuming that you've checked that the titles are correct in the media you're trying to stream (though that may show correctly but not encode correctly to what the DNAS server needs).

This is a screenshot of song titles. Normally are Greek Fonts

i'm not seeing any screenshot - if you attempted to attach, don't click preview after you've uploaded as that may cause it to disappear. also you've not mentioned the source software you're trying to use.

what's shown in the DNAS's log output for the title update - might be simpler to attach the log file (zipped) so it can be checked at a lower level.

The previous attached file is the screenshot from Dnas log with the song history
What file would you like zipped from the shoutcast folder?
