if you guys want this done.

you have to do it yourself. none of our devs have any interest in this.

(my personal statement, not related to the team as whole):
who knows, maybe you will like creating something better than bombing civilians.

edit: just to make it clear, i'm assuming you are from israel.

[Gamester17]

actually Semic languages also include the people getting bombed, Lebanon, language too, Arabic. Correct?
So bi-directional (bidi) text convert library use would be required for their feeds too, at least as an option(?)

Arabic, Aramaic, ,Avesta, Brāhmī, Farsi, Greek, Hebrew, Samaritan, Syriac, Ugaritic, Phoenician, ...what more languages?

However Spiff is right that none of our active developers have any interest in this as they don't speak any of those

EDIT: Also checkout this other topic thread with request for "Subtitle character shaping for Semic languages"

So I'll check what I can do in this matter.

BTW Israelies got bombed by lebanon missles even before one israeli bomb droped on lebanon.

[spiff]

sure.

some fundamentalists in lebanon did it. your response was completely out of proportions. but, anway, off topic and not a fruitful discussion. i'll stop now

[ekrako76]

I Agree

some pointers:

xbmc/utils/rssreader.cpp
guilib/rsscontrol.cpp
we use libfribid to handle flipping etc. g_charsetConverter is a nice util class.
