#804 Show Titles with Umlaut characters not displayed for MPEG2-TS EIT

[MacVideoGeek]

When listing information for MPEG2 TS files, the show titles in the EIT containing Umlaut characters are missing.

To reproduce this behaviour, run the following from the command line:

mediainfo FILENAME.TS

I have included part of an MPEG file with which this issue is displayed.

Tested with MediaInfo (both GUI and CLI) 0.7.65 Windows on a French Windows (so with same locale as German), I get:

Umlaut characters are there, aren't they?
Which OS are you using?

[MacVideoGeek]

This is strange.
I tested it on OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.4.

Running

mediainfo --version

gives

MediaInfo Command line,
MediaInfoLib - v0.7.64

Files with Umlauts in their name display correctly with "ls".

[Jerome Martinez]

ok, I see.
The complete spec of DVB EIT is not yet implemented in MediaInfo, and a fallback is on the local code page. On Windows it is a flavor of ISO 8859-1, on Mac it is UTF-8.
your file uses ISO/IEC 8859-9 (you can see on the link that it is pretty same as 8859-1, so this is the reason I get the right output on Windows, it is completely different than UTF-8 about umlauts so fallback fails on Mac), which is crazy (it is intended for Turkish, not for German...)

I'll add support for 8859-9, not difficult.

Great, thanks!
