5 years ago Ok, I forgot I submitted this long ago. I determined my database was created with latin1 encoding, not utf8. The problem isn't unique to the concerto-remote-video plugin, and happens with the ticker submissions too. It all stems back to how the database is created, so I'm closing this ticket and have opened a ticket for the concerto-debian project (that created the installer).
Depending on your need and amount of content, migrating to utf8 might be the best step forward: https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/developer-corner/mysql/convert-mysql-database-utf-8 Another option (not ideal) might be to modify your database.yml file and change encoding: utf8 to the older encoding: latin1
When attempting to submit a specific Youtube video in Concerto, I received the following error:
Mysql2::Error: Incorrect string value: '\xE2\x80\x8B\xE2\x80\x8B...' for column 'data' at row 1: INSERT INTO
