Turkish Character Problem

[forshire]

I have used this program since 2010, and have had no problems in the past on the windows 7 32bit.
Now I have windows 7 64 bit and problem with the Turkish characters as simulated keys.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the screenshot, but as I'm not an expert on Turkish, it does not really tell me what the problem is - I presume something about the display of the character? Is it just a display problem or does the wrong/invalid key get sent too?

Are you using the SAME version in x64 Windows as in x86 windows or did you change versions.
Did you have different languages installed in the different versions?

As per the forums posting rules, can you please give me some more of the requested information, at least what version of XMBC you are using? Its kind of important!!!

Thanks,
Phil

I have this problem on the version 2.4 and 2.5 (in the past i had 2.4 without problem)

Let me try to explain better. I want to use "ö" as simulated key. This "ö" is a letter in turkish language. But as you can see in the picture it doesnt shows as "ö" in the XMBC, it shows something else like corrupted characters.

I hope you understand me now

OK thanks, but although it shows up as a corrupt character, does the "ö" get sent when you press the button or does it actually come out the other end in the same corrupt way? I'm guessing that is also corrupt but I do need to check

Can you possibly try the 2.6 beta because quite a lot of effort went in to fixing little multilingual things like this already and if I have already fixed it it would save quite some time trying to setup a Turkish environment to test it under The link can be found in the sticky 2.6 beta post here

Nope it doesnt sent "ö" when i press.

I have installed 2.6 beta but didnt help me out. i had problem even with the english letters in 2.6 beta, so i had to reinstall 2.4 again. Now when i press "h" it works, but when i press "ö" nothing works, same as other Turkish characters. I have no idea what is wrong, it was okey one year ago when i had windows7 32 bit :/

Well yes it wasnt send "ö" when its pressed. Anyways i have tested this on 2.6 beta 2.5 and 2.4, same problem at all versions.

But i have found a solution. This problem happens to me only "Default" profile. if i do create a custom profile (for example a game profile) its working well.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for that information, it ill help me debug it - because there *should* be no difference between the default and custom profiles, but the code does write the settings in a different bit of code I think - so its probably corrupting it as it writes the key out (or reads it in). I will try and fix it in the next beta build.

Thanks,
Phil

I will test your next beta

[phil]

OK I would like you to test 2.6 beta 7 now, it should fix the problem.
I'm just building it and it will soon be in the beta forum post.

Thanks,
Phil
