Hi Pascal

Which version please? 1.0.2 has some fixes for displaying these characters in RSS feeds. We've found however that this is sometimes the feed itself giving the wrong encoding value, so the feed URL would be useful too.

Hi Pascal

The feed is ISO-8859-1 encoded. If I manually convert it to UTF-8 it works fine with Xibo.

Dan is going to take a look this evening to try and see why ISO-8859-1 encoding is now broken.

Cheers

Alex

Hi Pascal

I've no more information to give you. We'll update things here as things progress. Nobody on the project is paid for their time so things get fixed when we have the time and inclination to do so. I'm sure there will be an update soon.

In general, it's best to ask a new question for things that are completely unrelated as then it's clear what has and hasn't been addressed - and also makes the questions easier to search later on.

I'd say that load is very high. We don't see anything like that kind of loading here. How have you ascertained that this is Xibo causing that? What settings have you got for debugging, production mode and auditing? Are the clients the standard client or the debug client? What query is causing this high utlisation (turn on slow query logging in mysql to find out).

Cheers

Alex

I have made some progress on this... I think I now have it working for 1.0.3. Would you mind testing a patch? If not please see the attached bug report.

Incidentally the feed you provided as a test does not validate http://beta.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.univ-orleans.fr%2Factus%2Frss%2Findex.php (and therefore will not work).

However, I have tested with other feeds and characters are displayed correctly.

Cheers,
Dan
