Incorrect special characters for Czech and Slovak long texts #254

Closed juraj1000 closed 5 years ago

juraj1000 commented 5 years ago

Hello, I've just implemented the latest update of enigma2-plugin-extensions-enhancedmoviecenter_4.0+git1582+20181231_all, I use DM500HD with Open PLi. There is a new issue with Czech and Slovak special characters in "long" texts for detail description of recordings. The special CZ/SK characters are incorrectly displayed in EMC screen. And if I press the button Info in EMC there is the same issue with incorrect CZ/SK special characters. But if I press the button Info in the skin (not in EMC) the same "long" text for detail description is displayed with correct CZ/SK special characters, there is not any issue with it. It seems that EMC doesn't know correctly implement special characters for long texts even when the skin can interpret it correctly. I think that EMC knew interpret correctly special characters in older release. Could you correct it please? Juraj

There are NO special CZ/SK characters, get your Image fixed as this is not an EMC issue. EMC is behaving properly and decoding any code page.

Even though this issue was a long time ago, I would like to briefly address it.

Unfortunately that is not entirely true. Many EPG events in the Slavic region are encoded with ISO-8859-2. And this encoding was not previously supported by EMC. Instead, the text was subjected to automatic recognition and this suggests an incorrect encoding (iso-8859-1) and than incorrect characters are displayed in EMC. I was able to reproduce the problem on different systems and he's not the only one with this problem from what I've read on various forums.

This PR https://github.com/betonme/e2openplugin-EnhancedMovieCenter/pull/298 should solve this problem.
