ISO-8859-1 is assumed as there is no real clarity wrt the spec. In most cases people send ASCII so it's not an issue, but for some, the extended characters they send can cause problems with XML processing. As stats and YP require UTF8 we need to translate them and block invalid cases. For the moment, for non-Ogg streams only, we assume that the metadata needs converting from ISO-8859-1. Ogg streams are UTF8 so no conversion needed. You can override the default with a charset mount option. svn path=/icecast/trunk/icecast/; revision=13615
icecast 2.x - README
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet
radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in
between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added
relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and
interaction.
Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. A copy of this
license is included with this software in the COPYING file.
