[mb-users] Invalid UTF-8 title returned for release

[Andy Hawkins]

Hi all,

When I retrieve the data for the following release using the client library:

http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=468712

and then try to convert the title from UTF-8 to an encoding I can display on
the screen, I get the error:

iconv: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

The raw title is:

4c (L)
69 (i)
76 (v)
65 (e)
20 ( )
46 (F)
72 (r)
6f (o)
6d (m)
20 ( )
47 (G)
64 (d)
61 (a)
c5 (Å)
84 ( )
73 (s)
6b (k)

I am attempting the conversion using the following code:

setlocale(LC_ALL,  "" );
char *Codeset=nl_langinfo(CODESET);
	
char *In=new char[m_UTF8Value.length()+1];
strcpy(In,m_UTF8Value.c_str());
size_t InLeft=m_UTF8Value.length();

char *Out=new char[m_UTF8Value.length()*4];
memset(Out,0,m_UTF8Value.length()*4);
size_t OutLeft=m_UTF8Value.length()*4;

char *InBuff=In;
char *OutBuff=Out;

iconv_t Convert=iconv_open(Codeset,"UTF-8");
if ((iconv_t)-1!=Convert)
{
	if ((size_t)-1!=iconv(Convert,&InBuff,&InLeft,&OutBuff,&OutLeft))
	{
		if (OutLeft>=sizeof(char))
		    *OutBuff='\0';
			m_DisplayValue=Out;
	}		    
	else
		perror("iconv");
	
	iconv_close(Convert);
}
else
	perror("iconv_open\n");

if (In)
	free(In);
	
if (Out)
	free(Out);

This code has worked on all the other albums I have retrieved that include
non ASCII characters.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thanks

Andy
