If your radio station plays items that have non English characters in then you may find that they are not displayed correctly on an Icecast instance that OCP is sending now playing information to.
An example of this taken from a Danish station is Tøsedrengene, Pas På Dine Blå Øjne which would not display correctly due to characters such as the ø and å letters.
If this happens, then you just need to edit the Icecast output in Myriad OCP and insert a "charset" instruction into the URL path as shown below.
Note: Myriad OCP v6.1.3 adds in this new charset section by default, so this information is primarily aimed at Outputs added with older versions of Myriad OCP.
Before change:
admin/metadata?mount=/mystation&mode=updinfo&song=
After change:
admin/metadata?mount=/mystation&charset=UTF-8&mode=updinfo&song=
Note the addition of the &charset=UTF-8 section in the middle of the string. You must insert this precisely as shown above.
An example of how this should look is shown below:
