Re: [slim] Problem with character-sets on the CLI

Don't get me wrong, I think SlimServer is excellent. I have an SB3, having previously had an SB2 and an SB1. But Perl is almost exclusively the realm of *nix platforms; very very little perl stuff is every written for Windows systems. Windows development is typically done in C/C++, which is what

title Tráthnóna Beag Aréir I ended up adding charset:iso-8859-1 to the CLI requests. Possibly a 7-bit/8-bit issue, or a UTF-8 issue? I'm sorry, I'm no expert in that area. I took the pragmatic approach described above as it seemed to do what I expected... -- Michael

Hmm...unfortunately the title ? and artists ? etc. parameters do not seem to accept the charset argument. Unless I'm doing it wrong? Jim -- jimwillsher jimwillsher's Profile:
