BUG: local Tvheadend configuration web page not using UTF-8 encoding as claimed, thereby messing up Umlaute in Tvheadeend and xbmc

Added by ullix tv about 10 years ago

I had observed this first a few weeks ago, expecting a transient mess-up, but it is still present.

Looking at Firefox's page-info (see file Page-info.png)the encoding is stated as UTF-8. However, whereever Umlaute (and other special chracters) show up, the text is sprinkled with black triangles with a white question mark in in (see files umlaute.png and umlaute2.png).

This propagates into xbmc/kodi (see file xbmc-umlaute.png). Here the "Kln" should be "Köln", and the "Eisbr" should be an "Eisbär".

Please, review and correct the encoding problem.

I discovered that the messed-up Umlaute and special characters result ONLY from DVB-S. Info from DVB-T is correctly presented. See attached picture.All wrong ones are from DVB-S.

Hope this helps.
