Re: [gmediaserver-devel] question about character encoding in gmediaserver

[Han]

Thanks Dmitry for your quick response.

Using id3lib, in the case of ID3Field_GetASCII, I tried to call iconv
use "GBK" as "from_encoding" instead of ISO8859-1.  And it worked!

based on this, I was thinking, how about add an option to gmediaserver
so that users can change the from_encoding for ID3v1 tag? will that be
useful?

thanks
Han
