Special Characters in ShoutCast Metadata

[j7n]

I don't get any special characters in ShoutCast metadata, not even wrong ones. The admin panel of Icecast itself sees correct characters.

Here's a screenshot comparing Winamp2 and Winamp5

Confirmed for v5.541 and posted here (The »Post All Winamp 5.541 Official Plugin Bug Reports In This Thread« thread)

The SHOUTCast DNAS does not support International (unicode) characters. It never has. (And Icecast is not SHOUTcast, so it doesn't matter what it supports or not)

Sorry, but when reading these forums, I wonder about your unbelieveable ignorance. It seems that »SHOUTcast doesn’t support international characters« is the sentence you write most often.

Nobody is talking about SHOUTcast, we’re usually talking about what COMES OUT OF WINAMP (SHOUTcast DSP). THAT’s what’s buggy. Would be great if someone started caring about users here.

And just in case you didn’t know it: SHOUTcast wonderfully supports international characters in stream metadata and it’s been doing that since YEARS. Provided that it’s 8-bit character data (ISO 8859-1 for most of us), and NOT Unicode.
