HD 210 RSS-FEED with Special Characters



Hello, we try to display a rss feed with some special characters like ä, ö, ü and €. Writing the characters as html encoded &uuml; won't work either. Tests with added encoding in xml header weren't working, too. In every case the player stopped showing the feed, but displayed the images in another zone continously. Only way to get the feed display working again was to restart the player after replacing the offending characters. Greetings <?xml version="1.0" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Main Title</title> <link></link> <description>Main Description</description> <item> <description>Test5</description> </item> <item> <description>Grüne Gurken für nur 1,30 € das Stück</description> </item> </channel> </rss>

    I know if you're playing text from a file, the file needs to be formatted as uTF-8

    This was one of the first things I checked.

    Now I wrote a small programm to generate the xml files for RSS and it is displayed correct (.Net3.5 SP1, VB.Net, XMLDocument class)
