Serviio

I was unsatisfied with the Samsung AllShare DLNA Server and searched for alternatives and found Serviio. Thanks a lot for this great piece of software

I started to create nfo files to add title and genre information to my movie files as described in this wiki (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files), but after 2 days of library updates there were still some movies missing. After reading the serviio log file I found out, that my nfo files had the wrong character set in the title and/or genre tag. Because I'm german I had to use the german umlaute (äöü), for example "Komödie" (engl. comedy). The media extractor wrote some exception error message in the log, when I used some of those umlaute characters. So I tried UTF8 as a valid character set and that works, although there is no hint about that in this wiki.

I thought that might be a useful hint for others.

Suggestion: Can we please have another library status "no. of libary update errors" or something like this in the console frontend? I don't want to read the log files every time

wo hats du die Änderung eingetragen? würde mir helfen ...

Du musst nfo Dateien selbst erzeugen und diese in UTF8 Zeichensatz speichern (siehe Wiki Link in vorherigem Post). Am Besten du benutzt einen Texteditor, der das kann, z.B. Notepad++.

You have to create your own nfo Files and save them in UTF8 character set (see wiki link in previous post). You can use Notepad++ as a good Texteditor for that.
