#245: Taglib version needed for a good ID3v2 handling
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: Azrael | Owner: admin
Type: Documentation | Status: new
Priority: 1 | Milestone:
Component: Liquidsoap | Version:
Keywords: taglib, ID3v2, encoding | Mac: 1
Linux: 1 | Netbsd: 1
Other: 1 | Freebsd: 1
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Liquidsoap relies on taglib to handle ID3 tags.
With version 1.4 and lower, taglib has a bug which can, in some
circumstances, prevent Liquidsoap from sending the correct meta-datas to
Icecast or Shoutcast.
This happens when ID3 tags are encoded in some local encodings (latin1 ?).
Version 1.5 resolves that bug :
Non-Latin1 ID3v2 text frames are automatically converted to UTF-8 on write
(if they are not explicitly set to UTF-16)
Added a function to check Latin1 compatibility of strings
So, basically, if some or all your tags, when read by Liquidsoap, are
displayed in Icecast/Shoutcast with something like : ÿþH, it means the
current taglib version is too old.
An update of taglib and a recompilation of ocaml-taglib and liquidsoap
solves the problem, the tags will be displayed correctly whatever the
encoding.
