hi,

i send a file txt to display a titles on vmix but is codified with the standard ISO8859 and the special character appears with strange symbols. if i codified the txt file in a UTF8 standard the titles appear correcly.

is possible in vmix receive correctly the character in ISO8859?

i need to use iso8859 because i send the same file txt to another application and the other app use ISO8859 to receive the txt correctly


thanks

I have also been doing battle with char encoding formats generated by other systems to get accented chars in competitors' names to appear correctly. Some of the input files were encoded with 'latin-1' and some utf-8, vmix needed utf-8 via the http API to show the chars correctly.

I would suggest writing a script in your preferred language to automatically make converted copies of the files for vmix. A quick google found this discussion of how to do it from the windows command line: https://superuser.com/qu...-windows-command-prompt.

I used python because I was already using it for other work on the data.
