Issues showing the letters "åäö" in stream titles

[Hund]

Titles with the å, ä and ö like "Semesterlir med Rönnlund" becomes "Semesterlir med Rönnlund".

I'm using Arch Linux, URxvt 9.22 and twitchy-git r133.478dddf from AUR.

I'm unable to reproduce this on konsole, gnome-terminal, and urxvt. That exact status form this issue (from the geekslive stream?) shows up the way it should along with the other special characters you've mentioned.

I'm afraid this might be an issue with your terminal config, or more specifically, your terminal font. Try messing with locale settings too, just for kicks.

[Hund]

Hm, weird. I've tried using Bash, Zsh, URxvt, lxterminal, Kterminal and various fonts. Same issue. :( It did work when I listed past broadcasts with -b though.

So a little research tells me this is definitely a locale issue. I was able to reproduce this with my encoding set to ISO-8859-1. I've since updated the script to force UTF-8.

Please check and see if this breaks anything?

I'm now running version r135.a8d88c1-1 and I still have the same issue. :(

What is the output of $ locale on your system?

[Hund]

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

We're officially in 'Well, shit' territory now. Could you replace line 776 with

status_message = stream_data['streams'][i]['channel']['status'].encode('latin-1', 'ignore').decode('utf-8')

and tell me if that changes anything?

[Hund]

Hehe. :)

$ ./twitchy.py
 Checking 50 channel(s)...

[Hund]

Hm, weird. I undid the change and ran the file as is and it worked then. Dunno why, but it works now. :)
