Summary: Amarok doesn't display cyrillic letters in streamed metadata
Product: [Applications] amarok Reporter: Sergei <savsem>

Attachments: Streams with cyrillic characters displayed

Description Sergei 2011-03-25 16:49:52 UTC 
Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                FreeBSD

There is a screenshot:
http://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-plasma-desktopxq1711

Latin letters are displayed with no issues, but russian characters are messed up. The first radio on the screenshot streams data in OGG format, the others - mp3. Metadata displayed correctly while playing in mplayer from console. AFAIK ogg supports only unicode tags, but it's still not displayed in amarok. I've tried couple russian radiostations.

$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Reproducible: Always

Could you give an example of streams?
Comment 2 Sergei 2011-03-27 12:25:08 UTC 
Hi Myriam Schweingruber,
Here is some examples:

The ogg stream followed by mplayer's console output:
http://music.myradio.com.ua:8000/RusRock128.ogg

Name   : RusRock128.ogg
Genre  : Misc
Website: http://savonet.sf.net
Public : yes
Cache size set to 128 KBytes
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)   

libavformat file format detected.
[ogg @ 0x8072fc010] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate
[lavf] stream 0: audio (vorbis), -aid 0, Примавара [Русский Рок]


The aac stream followed by mplayer's console output:
http://91.214.237.245/1019

Name   : New channel 
Genre  : Misc
Website: http://www.onlinefm.com.ua/channel19
Public : yes
Bitrate: 24kbit/s
Cache size set to 128 KBytes
Cache fill:  6.25% (8192 bytes)   
ICY Info: StreamTitle='Браво - Любовь Не Горит на Russian Rock';

And this is the mp3 stream with probably cp1251 metadata encoding, I don't really care about this one, it's just an example:
http://stream.netradio.by:8000/100/mp3/128

Name   : NETradio100%
Genre  : BELARUS
Website: http://www.netradio,by/100
Public : no
Bitrate: 128kbit/s
Cache size set to 128 KBytes
Cache fill:  6.25% (8192 bytes)   
ICY Info: StreamTitle='����� ������i&�������� ����� - ������ ���� �i��� (NETradio100% | www.netradio.by/100 | 128kbps stereo)';

All outputs are taken from UTF-8 console. All streams above were present in playlist on the screenshot.

Streams with cyrillic characters displayed

The first two examples display correctly here, the last one doesn't seem to send readable information. I didn't change my locale, but it is UTF-8 anyway, so the language doesn't matter much.
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-03-29 08:05:13 UTC 
I should add that I use Linux here, not FreeBSD.
Comment 5 Sergei 2011-03-29 08:13:22 UTC 
Yes, cyrillic characters are displayed correctly on your screenshot. Could it be OSS or Xine related on my desktop? And may I ask you for your locale output?
Comment 6 Sergei 2011-03-29 09:02:33 UTC 
Okay, I've changed phonon's backend from Xine to Gstreamer and Amarok refused to play streams. After installing port gstreamer-plugins-soup streamed sources plays flawlessly again with correct encoding, so I think that it's indeed Xine's issue. Thanks, Myriam!

Should I to report this issue to xine's team?
Comment 7 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-03-29 15:18:29 UTC 
This is already reported, thank you. See also bug 212099
