Sometimes AMIP doesn´t get national chars, it changes "å" to "e", "ø" to "x" and "æ" to "f" :S
but it only happens with some titles |

AMIP doesn't work with Unicode yet, it only supports tags in the platform default encoding. If the tag has different encoding, AMIP can't read it correctly.

QUOTE(Serge @ Apr 8 2006, 04:22 PM)  AMIP doesn't work with Unicode yet, it only supports tags in the platform default encoding. Hi Sergej, I'm using AMIP for about 2 years now and would say that the lack of Unicode support for tagging data is the only thing I'm really missing. As I fancy scandinavian music (featuring many ä/æ, ö/ø and å in titles) AMIP often writes incorrect strings. I pondered on a workaround: Converting the tag encoding into the system locale (western european) - keeping the scandinavian special chars. Do you happen to know a tool that does it? (Simple command line will do.) Greetings Mikka |

QUOTE(Serge @ Oct 20 2006, 06:11 AM) Sorry, I'm not aware of such tools. well, my issue is that it USED to work and now doesn't. i have been using AMIP for my sig for years now - 2005, since the previous version - and it always worked with characters such as ö, ï, ø, etc. however, i decided i was going to change my image - first time in a year or so - so i downloaded the latest version of everything, just to be sure, prior to working with it. image change successful, but special characters aren't displaying. at first i thought it was the fonts i chose. however, after messing around with it for an hour or so, i decided to check my amipweb.out file just for kicks. here's what's going on: -d "title=Bjvrk+-+Vertabrae+By+Vertabrae" instead of Björk. so it's wrong before it even reaches my server. so i downgraded AMIP (tried anyway, seemed to work), i downgraded winamp, etc., and am still stuck with the same issue. and i'm serious, i'm not making this up or dreaming it - it used to work prior to things i changed yesterday. honest!  any thoughts? |

Your system regional settings can affect the conversion. Make sure system locale is correctly set.
