Somehow this conversion seem to fail on your system. Just to note, it's everything in the OSD. So it's not only the texts that are part of the Finnish translation, but also the texts that are coming from EPG, and the names of the recordings, as well. Looking at, for example, epg.data file, the contents are in ISO-8859-1, so it seems that something's actively converting everything to UTF-8. The problem might be in my two-machine setup where something happens between the systems... I'll have to try and check a bit more, what could be the problem. -- Sami Sundell sundell.s...@gmail.com ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] OSD character set
Hello. I'm coming to you again with a character set problem. I've been happily using various versions of VDR for several years now. Yesterday I took the plunge and updated the system to 1.7 - mainly because e-tobi.net deb repository had been updated already a while ago, and I felt things were running all too smoothly :P Well, it was somewhat of a surprise, but everything seems to be working correctly, the only thing that needed changing was fixing the port for vdradmin. However, there's a teensy issue with the OSD: it looks like its characters are in UTF-8, when the system is ISO-8859-1. Some info on the system: Debian squeeze running on AMD64 VDR 1.7.16-2~ctvdr1 running on server, output on another machine Using xineliboutput (1.0.6+cvs20110105.1949-1) to get things going. Telnet into SVDRP claims the system is running on ISO-8859-1. The frontend system has LANG set to fi_FI@euro which should be ISO-8859-15. Checking any information from vdradmin-am (recording names, EPG etc) shows them correct (and charset on the web page is ISO-8859-1), on OSD the characters are broken. I have no idea why that happens. I probably have some conflict somewhere somehow, but if someone knows what's going on, I'd be grateful for some pointers. -- Sami Sundell ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
