Re^5: Malformed UTF-8 character, TagLib

Covered?? 1 sentence of common knowledge, 1 sentence explaining NO MORE than the error message itself,

I thought what follows was obvious, but here you go: Don't give something other than UTF-8 to a library that expects UTF-8, or use a different library.

They do not all have the Malformed UTF error, however, all of the ones with high ascii characters do not display correctly!

Problems in output are meaningless if there's a problem in the input. You need to fix the inability of the module to handle the tags first.

All the tags are written using the same application, I highly doubt that it gets it right sometimes and not others...

Some? You just said *all* non-ASCII character don't work. Which one is it?

Welp, thought I was pretty clear, Guess not! I thought what follows was obvious, but here you go: Don't give something other than UTF-8 to a library that expects UTF-8, or use a different library. More commonsense, common knowledge! BTW, The library does not expect UTF-8, It's capable of the 4 encoding standards for ID3 tags! Problems in output are meaningless if there's a problem in the input. You need to fix the inability of the module to handle the tags first. No input problem, Works fine in C/C++, not in Perl! Some? You just said all non-ASCII character don't work. Which one is it? ALL artists/album names with high ASCII characters (Ö,é) do not display correctly!!! Only a couple of those artists/albums with high ASCII characters have the Malformed UTF-8 error! Is that clearer ... fh : )_~	[reply]

Only a couple of those artists/albums with high ASCII characters have the Malformed UTF-8 error! You previously asking about files giving you a "malformed" error. Now addressing this new issue: Use Devel::Peek's `Dump` on something that doesn't give "malformed" but doesn't display correctly. Show us the output.	[reply] [d/l]

Finally something useful! You are absolutely correct! And I very much deserve the useless drivel I have received for not knowing that it was two different issues in the first place... That I should have known! Devel::Peek ... Output ... NOT! # perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...
