Hi! My VDR with utf-8 is working marvelously, except for a small cosmeticproblem. The non-7-bit characters are not shown correctly on my LCD. The LCD expects characters (i.e. it is no a graphics-LCD, or at leastthe kernel module isn't), in a certain character set (iso-8859-15probably but I can't be actually sure, something very similar though).The vdr-lcdproc outputs characters in utf-8 (since I want to useutf-8). So, a utf-8 to iso-8859-15 conversion is required in the chainVDR-lcdproc-LCDd-/dev/lcd0. Currently none of the aforementioned cando the conversion. I can do the wollowing: 'echo ä | iconv -f utf-8 -t iso8859-15 > /dev/lcd0' To show a real "ä" on my LCD. So, I tried the following workaround on my box: - mkfifo fakelcd- tail fakelcd | iconv -f utf-8 -t iso8859-15 > /dev/lcd0- Point LCDd to fakelcd (this is as I recall I tried it, it was some weeks ago when I did theactual tests) The above would work otherwise, but iconv doesn't "tail" - i.e. itwaits for EOF (or something). I could do 'cat somefile > fakelcd',with somefile containing utf-8 characters and it was shown, but thatwon't work with VDR. Any other suggestions? Also, in your opinion, which one in the chainVDR-lcdproc-LCDd-/dev/lcd0 should be responsible of the conversion ofthe character set? I'm asking so I know which programs author should Ipoint my whine to =) Cheers!- Ville -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aakko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing listvdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
