UTF‑8 Encoding Problem with Accented Characters

[JeanXeb]

Hi radioboss

I'm running into an issue with metadata encoding. Titles containing accented characters are not displaying correctly.
For example, the title “Mel Tormé – Right Now” ends up corrupted in the metadata. (Mel Tormà - Right Now)

The attached files illustrate the problem, which is surprising since all my data is properly encoded in UTF‑8 on my side.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Probably the bug is somewhere else, as RadioBOSS does send UTF8 titles properly. What streaming server do you use? If you open the server's admin page, does it show the correct title there?

In the Icecast2 Status page, the issue is also present on the streams (see the attached screenshot from our Icecast2 server).
