Hello, I searched through the archives and found a suggestion for a cyrillic DJ to put the following in icecast.xml: <mount> <mount-name>/mountnamehere</mount-name> <charset>UTF-8</charset> </mount> This was to resolve his problem of displaying cyrillic characters on both the status page and presumably on to listeners/players My problem is that ocassionally I have Japanese characters in a playlist (mixed with English characters). From what I can tell in error.log for icecast, these Japanese characters are making it in, but they do not display properly on the status page nor in the players/listeners. I added the section above to icecast.xml where /mountnamehere is the name of my mountpoint which is listed in the status page. Is there anything else I should do?

In the icecast log files I see the non latin characters showing up as they should, but on the player end and on the icecast status page, these show up as mixed numeric/alpha codes. I found discussions on this topic here: http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5790&sid=0e344159ada979f19ff9cda2dac42b6f <http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5790&sid=0e344159ada979f19ff9cda2dac42b6f> And this announcement addressing 'charset' here: http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5200&sid=835e8b4c431a224a58ca2a8eb8b5bbe7 <http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5200&sid=835e8b4c431a224a58ca2a8eb8b5bbe7> And then in the documentation where it provides examples for the icecast.xml file: http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.0/config-file.html <http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.0/config-file.html> I've probably just got that misconfigured. In my setup I'm streaming from nicecast to the icecast server and authenticating via <relay> so while I've got a <mount> defined with the same mount-name as my nicecast stream to the icecast server, I don't believe the <charaset> directive I have defined is even used. What is the correct way for me to configure icecast.xml? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
