I just had contact with an ices-developer about this issue. This is not a bug in ices, it is a documentation-bug. What the documentation not says is, that the metadata should be sent in UTF-8 encoding. Simply change from Ascii to UTF-8 and ALL esoteric characters will be sent, i've just tested this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MacSym" <macsym69@yahoo.fr> To: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 8:52 AM Subject: RE: [icecast] Ices2; Metadata and special chars <p>I have the same problem with status.xsl.
