Hi there! I am currently developing a broadcast solution with ices2 (feeded over pipe, stdin). I use a metadata-file and signals to update the streams metadata. The problem is, names of songs and artists are cut off at special chars like & or at a german umlaut. For example: artist=Test title=foo & bar is sent to the clients as "Test - foo ". Do i have to use some kind of escape-char or other special things or is this just a bug? Btw, I am using IceS 2.0-Beta4. Thanks!

What client(s) have you tried this with?

I reported this several months ago. I was using Oddcast to send and Winamp to listen. Winamp showed the title truncated at any extended character.>From memory, status.xsl didn't show the title correctly either.Regards, Ross Levis. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Smith" <msmith@xiph.org> To: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 4:27 PM Subject: Re: [icecast] Ices2; Metadata and special chars <p>> On Wednesday 03 March 2004 14:18, Thomas Weber wrote:> > Hi there! > > > > I am currently developing a broadcast solution with ices2 (feeded over > > pipe, stdin).
