Radio station streams may include tags - track artist and title.
If tags are not served in UTF-8 encoding, non-latin characters may be printed as garbage characters and must be converted to UTF-8 to make sense.
A specific source charset can optionally be set upon adding or editing each channel.
Unfortunately, charsets cannot be reliably determined automatically. Finding the right source charset for a channel's tags are therefore a matter of guessing - or guessing again. A tool like 2cyr/decode may come useful.
Currently, this extension supports conversion of the following charsets:
- windows-1251 - Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian Cyrillic and Macedonian
- windows-1252 - Western European / Latin 1
- windows-1253 - Greek
- windows-1257 - Baltic
- koi8-r - Russian
- koi8-u - Ukrainian
