Support "Internationalised Domain Names"

[Former user]

Characters outside of US-ASCII do appear in various URLs. Serviio doesn't appear to support them which makes some online streams defunct.

Can you provide examples of domains which fail and how they fail?

Using the SVTplay groovy plugin, http://www.oppetarkiv.se/etikett/titel/Värsta%20språket/ fails to resolve.

According to the author, ottomatic, this is not an issue with the plugin. Here's the plugin if you want to take a look at it: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8062&start=180#p68148

Can you prvide a URL that works with the plugin? the opertaktiv domain is not matched.

It sounds as if you're using the SVTplay plugin, not the beta-version OppetArkiv.groovy attached in http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8062&start=180#p68148

http://www.oppetarkiv.se/etikett/titel/Fem%20myror%20%C3%A4r%20fler%20%C3%A4n%20fyra%20elefanter/ works as an example.

I haven't looked at the plugin, but it looks like the plugin returns null.

Serviio passes the unencoded version to the plugin, so it should deal with it.
