Comment 6 for bug 558588

finding "working" EPG DVB applications on linux seems to be a hard subject in itself. I've only been able to get vlc to display "program name" but it displays it in the application window title (and not correctly), so I'm not 100% sure it is vlc fault.

I've renamed the bug since I have the issue also when switching to UTF-8 locale so it is a encoding conversion issue in either gnome-dvb-daemon or gstreamer.

Anyway, I got some debug ouput, from two different channels, one in iso6937, one in iso8859-9

First one description should be "Magazine d'actualité" but is displayed in UI : "Magazine d'actualitØ"

Second one description should be : "Présenté par Ruth Elkrief" (I don't have the text which was displayed in the UI)
