Windows Desktop/Sidebar Gadget with Recording Schedule

I'm pretty sure I replaced it the correct place, but it didn't help (note that I don't get the norwegian letters æ, ø and å). Here's how it looks in IE:

Were those letters there before?

The rss feed creation looks wrong for accented characters. Reddwarf's xml has odd representation for the ø character it probably should be ø I tried with a french accents and it displays wrong but works, likely because the accent is not in the pubDate field.

Here is a real RSS feed from Norway http://www.nrk.no/nyheiter/siste.rss note the different encoding, plug the pubDate uses the proper RSS spec.

Not in the RSS feed, but they display fine in the tv-guide.

I could try setting the encoding to encoding="utf-8" rather than encoding="iso-8859-1 and see if that helps

I think I have the dates in the correst RSS format:

Code:

<pubDate>Sun, 16 Oct 2011 10:24:42 -0400</pubDate>

which is Rfc822 format.

I don't know about the date, but æ, ø and å displays correct in NEWA guide also.

Are you sure rfc822 allows for international formats? It looks pretty rigid to me http://asg.web.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc822.html#sec-5.1

Yea...date is ok...when I set this up I recall using the w3c feed validator which shows only this issue with dates and it is because they are future dates.....it did flag an inconsistency of what the web server was reporting for encoding vs. what was in the feed so I changed it to utf-8 to see what happens.

Reddwarf....give the attached a try and report back your findings.....

It does fixe my french accented recordings in the gadget.
