#46 The song name should be url encoded to ISO-8859-1 charset

[Cristian Onet]

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of BUTT 0.1.37 and I'm trying to set this songname: "planète" I see the update url contains the parameter "&song=planète" instead of "&song=plan%E8te". According to icecasr specification if the "charset" parameter is not set (which is the case) than the query parameters must be url encoded using the ISO-8859-1 charset. The way I see it BUTT does not handle icecast song metadata update properly.

Regards,
Cristian

Hello Cristian,

BUTT uses UTF-8 for song encoding. I tried adding charset=UTF-8 to the song update URL but this didn't help. In this case icecast converts it to a HTML encoded string...

However, you can workaround it by adding

<charset>UTF-8</charset> 

to your mount specific settings in your icecast config file, or add

<mount type="default">
    <charset>UTF-8</charset>
</mount>

just below the
<icecast>

tag to set it for every mountpoint.

Best,
Daniel
