Hi Romain,
Thanks for the link. Am I doing it correctly if I set encoding="UTF-8" as
one of the output.icecast parameters? Is this effectively the same as what
you advise ("What you should do is to configure icecast to override the
default charset assigned to this mount point.")?
The reason I ask, is because this is what I did, and it did not work.
Perhaps I should go back and try it again (or try "UTF8" string instead of
"UTF-8")
