JSON status encoding modification
yiann0s opened this issue · comments
Below you will find an excerpt from json status response of broadcast server (status-json.xsl). Original title of song is "オンライン博物館 INTERNET 1.0 Log on". Can I modify server files so that the encoding of the metadata is based in utf8 ? I have a problem with songs with greek/ japanese characters.

You are depending here on two legacy technologies:
- ICY, which does not support charsets at all
- status-json.xsl (which was replaced in 2.5.x, is still valid for 2.4.x)
As ICY does not support charset parameters there is hardly anything Icecast can do about this.
That said there have been a few updates here in abfd3c5. They might help or.. not. It also depends a lot on the source client to send what is expected (which might or might not be what is correct).
If there is really a bug, feel free to open a ticket in the official bug tracker at https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/-/issues.
