Hi, I use mc2xml to get my tvguide.xml. In notepad++ the file appear fine but after I give this file to xmltvdb, all special characters end up looking like garbage in FTR. The resulting file in notepad++ get recognize has a xml but the characters are Wrong. If I change the encoding ( not convert, just change the encoding to AINSI) all the special characters are ok. If I then convert that file to UTF8 with notepad++ the guide get imported in FTR with all the special characters intact.

same problem. Please respect the encoding of the inputfile

same problem for me

Got annoyed by this issue and came up with a fix. Only had to change three lines in xmltvdb.java. As I don't have write access to the repository I attach the source and a compiled binary to this post. Perhaps the author wants to incorporate this fix in the repository.

Thanks for the fix Moritz! Works great.
