[gmediaserver-devel] question about character encoding in gmediaserver

[Han]

Hi,

I am writing a program to use UPnP to connect to gmediaserver and to
browse MP3 songs.

One problem I have is that, it seems that for MP3 songs with Chinese
song names (MP3 tag) encoded in GB2312 (2 bytes per Chinese
character),  the original song name string is converted into 4 bytes
per character in the browse result.  The new string seems not valid
GB2312, nor valid UTF-8.

I am wondering if gmediaserver do any such encoding conversion for
song names, or is it libupnp doing such conversion?

thanks.
Han
