UTF-8 encoding issues (OpenLyrics XML to ProPresenter) about lyricconverter HOT 5 CLOSED

So you are saying opening those converted files in ProPresenter 6 works as expected?

from lyricconverter.

Hi @FiniteLooper,
So far I was trying to open the file in ProPresenter 7.
But you gave me an idea to try version 6.
Version 6.5.3 is unable to import the file correctly.
Once the file is imported, warning icon is shown next to its name. When the warning is clicked, "Incompatible File" message is shown.

The encoding is wrong same way as in version 7.

Hmm, ok that's odd.

Yes I have no support at all for Pro7 since the file format is totally different, so importing a Pro6 file is the only way to make this work in Pro7. So that does look to be an issue with how encoding is handled, I think you are correct.

I have no idea when I'll get to take a look at this but it's now on my radar!

I am taking a look at this now. It appears that LyricConverter has no issue reading the file correctly because I can use "display slides" which appears to show everything correctly

and I can convert it to a plain text file, and it appears to be formatted correctly

v1:
Bože, tebe chválíme, před tebou se skláníme 
s neskonalou radostí, se srdečnou vděčností,
neb nám sebe dáváš znáti. Něžně miluješ nás vždy,
otec milý v Kristu jsi, dětmi ráčíš nás v něm zváti.

v2:
Chválíme tě s vroucností, žes nám poslal z výsosti 
Syna svého drahého,
hřích náš vložils na něho a
my svobodni jsme nyní. Vzhůru, srdce, vznes se, vznes,
vesele ať zní tvůj ples z Božího tu dobrodiní!

v3:
Chválíme tě uctivě, vděčně, vroucně, ohnivě. Díky tobě vzdáváme, nad tvou láskou jásáme,
vždyť jsme lid tvůj vykoupený. Tys nás v poušti nenechal, tys nám život věčný dal. Bože náš, buď velebený!

v4:
Z Ducha znovuzrozeni, s tebou v Kristu spojeni, spásy máme jistotu, tvoji známe dobrotu, tebe, Bože, velebíme.
Díky tobě vzdáváme, že jsme tvoji, jásáme, tebe, Otče, vděčně ctíme.

I will be looking into the conversion/encoding process for how ProPresenter works next

from lyricconverter.

I ran your original OpenLyrics file through my tests and found no issues. It correctly encodes and decodes the UTF-8 characters. Then I realized I never tried reproducing the issue by opening the file you sent.

I was able to open the test.pro6 file you attached in ProPresenter 6 just fine.

So I opened ProPresenter 7 and imported the same test.pro6 file you sent, and again I had no issues at all.

PP7 converts files to a .pro format, so here is the working file it generated for me, you can test it out: test 1.zip

Honestly I'm not sure what to tell you here. Everything works for me and I cannot reproduce your issue. I'm not sure what is going on because I am able to import the file you sent me just fine, and when I generate the same file from the original OpenLyrics file you sent me, they are identical other than the timestamp of when the files were created.

The only thing that seems different between us is that I am using the Windows versions of ProPresenter and you are using Mac. I do not own a Mac so I can't test that... but I would be very surprised if their software on different platforms didn't open/import the same file types.
