German characters

[muhkuh0815]

German special characters like Ä Ö Ü seems to crash the Siriproxy.

i have no idea if thats something you can fix, but would be nice if it works.

and my second question. is there a possibility to "listen_for" 2 or more seperate words ?

i would like to listen for e.g. "Johnny" and "cook" in one sentense

so i can ask for "can Johnny cook" or "is Johnny able to cook"

sorry for my bad english, and keep up your great work
very appreciated

I'll look into the special character crashing thing.

As for listening for two words:

https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy-Thermostat/blob/master/lib/siriproxy-thermostat.rb#L12-13

That's how I do it. You can probably figure a better way.

Thank you, works perfect.

Chendo: this one is all you. Mostly because I'm too lazy to fix. Get with me in chat if you want to discuss.

heres the error message i get when anywhere in the siriproxy-example file is a Ä Ö Ü or ß character.
hope it helps

plugin_manager.rb:22:in `require': /Users/xxx/SiriProxy/plugins/siriproxy-example/lib/siriproxy-example.rb:49: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) (SyntaxError)
/Users/xxx/SiriProxy/plugins/siriproxy-example/lib/siriproxy-example.rb:49: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_end

I had problems with ÜÄÖ too.

Seems to be a file encoding problem. I was able to work around this by converting and editing the file in UTF-8. Before uploading to my Dreamplug (Ubuntu) I change the encoding to ANSI (not converting). I´m editing my file with Notepad++ on Windows.

I am not sure why this works. Perhaps someone else can clarify this.

it seems that the encoding is not UTF-8, it should be solved by simply adding

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

at the top of all ruby files even the plugins

/cc @plamoni @netpro2k @chendo

[kalbasit]

It might be also a good idea to add

# Make sure we are running UTF-8
Encoding.default_external = 'utf-8'

in the lib/siriproxy.rb file to ensure all externally open files (if any) are being opened in UTF-8 mode

Same problem with french character like : éèà ...
thanks ;)

[kalbasit]

@zobi could you try the patch in #113 ?

[zobi]

i try to put :
Encoding.default_external = 'utf-8'
on all my .rb file but it didn't work :/

[kalbasit]

Not Encoding.default_external = 'utf8' but this as the first line of each .rb file

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

Just apply this patch

curl -o- https://github.com/eMxyzptlk/SiriProxy/commit/739b0cefb3e60b94514123c010820a1d51c99dfb.patch | patch -Np1

[zobi]

Ho great it works like a charm !!
Thanks you very much for this patch ;)

[Doriginal]

I have the same problem with the characters in French é î à ...
How to apply your patch, because as I lanche he asks me things and I'm lost
:(

thank you

seems like this was fixed by adding encoding utf-8 to plugins.
