XBMCnfoMoviesImporter doesn't like strange characters

Hello everybody,

I am experimenting with the XBMCnfoMoviesImporter and very happy with the results except for strange internation characters like é à ë etc…

My movie “Rien á Déclarer” appears now as

In the nfo file, text is OK

Is there a way to let this agent interpret international characters correct?

kind regards,
Bart

If i copy “Rien á Déclarer” (without “”) into the title part of an existing nfo file - example.nfo it comes up like yours above.

If i then copy all the text in example.nfo into a (ordinary) notepad file and save it as example.nfo (as ansi) it works correctly

looks like you are using notepad++ or something similar, i think the encoding affects it, not sure why, there may be a way of re-encoding the special characters in notepad++

someone who knows more than me might explain why it happens

Ok, thanx for clearing this out! (I’m working with notepad++ indeed)
