Re^6: Malformed UTF-8 character, TagLib

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 ...

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...
