Feature request: Add dropdown box to allow encoding selection about mpc-hc HOT 5 CLOSED

Is it possible to add a dropdown box with a encodings list like iso8859-1..... to the Tuning dialog?

Honestly, unlikely I'd get to that. It's such a small group of people using DVB in the first place. But are you saying it's Latin1? If it's always latin-1 or UTF-8, maybe something can be done.

It can be any of the 8859 variants.

Since it worked before, I would say issue is with provider, and not worth handling on player side.

Yeah I recall it actually identifies the encoding itself. So if it is wrong then somebody screwed up.

Not sure what they did to the EPG service but it's kinda broken.
I been in touch to the some people and they pointed it's using iso8859-1.
A wrong move. UTF-8 is pratically universal unless they did gone to iso for compatibility.
The EPG can be extracted with EPG tools. I extracted EPG with DVBGuide and it can generate a xml file.
The way things appeared screwed in this xml file, it also appears with MPC-HC channels list.
Few days ago, I installed notepad++ on this system, loaded the xml file and switched it to iso..... and... it doesn't appear right.
No matter which one I picked, never gets it right.

I understand all what you wrote.
Maybe... you want to undo the utf-8 code you applied last time and then when a next release gets out, I will check if it gets right.

We are not undoing code because your ISP messed up.
