Diacritics

[catalin66ro]

Hi there,

I'm running a Romanian radio station and I have a problem with diacritics. Although ă, î and â are displayed correctly, ș and ț are displayed  lower case in the upper bar and, on my stream, they are not displayed at all, they are skipped. Why is that and how can it be fixed?

Thank you!

Hi Catalin, i will answer you in English since you've posted here.
The program uses the system's localization settings, so you don't have to change anything.
Do you have problems displaying the translation, or only with the track information? If the problem is only with the tracks, it may be a wrong character set or collation used for the database. The songs table must use uft8_general_ci collation (can be converted later using heidisql).

Hi Marius (let's continue this in english ),
I have troubles only with the titles, because I have a lot of Romanian titles in my database. I have no problems with ă, î and â. But when I try to place a ș or a ț, on the upper bar of the main window I see them in lowercase.  Example: VEșNIC. And on my web site is displayed Venic.
Any advice? Thank you!

I've checked, my songs table is utf8_general_ci, so... I don't know...

Hi Catalin,

May I ask what streaming server and encoder do you use? It looks like the issue is in either one of those.

Hi Andy,

I'm using some encoder for encoder and Shoutcast streaming server. But, as I said to Marius, when I have a ș or ț in a title, RadioDJ displays it lower cased in the upper bar (VEșNIC instead of VEȘNIC).
Any thoughts? Thank You!

Here is a print screen with what I mean.

Oh, sorry. I must have misunderstood your question. I thought that the issue was in player applications.

I'm Latvian and I have Russian titles in my library but I have never seen similar issues. It must have something to do with how RadioDJ or WinForms apply upper-casing to accented characters.
See this screenshot with Cyrillic characters.

I'm also from Romania and play tracks with diacritics and they are displayed just fine here, without any setting.
Catalin, if you set your location to Romania in windows control panel and restart rdj is any difference?

Hi Marius,

I checked, my location is Romania, I even added a Romanian keyboard. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. In the first picture, I show you how RadioDJ displays a title with a ț. In the second picture, you'll see how the title is displayed on my player page. Please help!

If it's not too late, i can take a look in the evening, let's say after 9 (Romania time). Just send me to PM the team viewer details at that time.
Thanks.

[catalin66ro]

Sorry. I missed your message. I sent you a PM.

Hi Marius, I tend to say that is a soft related problem. I installed RadioDJ on my home computer and I have the same problem. Here's how it displays the title:

I can say the same thing. The track is displayed like this on my computer, without any tweaks.

So, what can I do? I'm really puzzled here...
