Characters & and " not properly escaped

[spathi85]

Hi,

since an update last year (I would say around March 2017) the characters & and " are displayed as & and " in the epg of streaming clients. On the receiver and directly in the webinterface everything ist displayed correctly.

Here's an example from Kodi 17.6 with PVR Plugin for Vu+:

And one from "Dream Droid" for Android:

Thanks.

These encoded signs are valid for xml and we have no intention to change this.
Some foreign language needs this to prevent xml parsing errors.
You have to fix this issue in the 3rd party applications.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I've checked the output of OpenWebIf (openatv 6.1.0, openwebif 1.3.0) and it's correct to replace some signs with their xml or html entities, but OpenWebIf replaces the already escaped characters a second time and that's the problem here.
If I look at epgservice, I can find entries like
Linda Hunt (Henrietta "Hetty" Lange) in <e2eventdescriptionextended> That's because the correct entity " is escaped a second time and the result is "

The code inside of openwebif is here. ->

!!CAUTION!!
The result needs to be encoded for valid json and xml results.

Please provide channel name and date of some epg item for testing.
This example needs to be sat ( astra 19,2 ) and in some days.

Thanks for the feedback

I've tested the url http://vuplus/web/epgservice?sRef=1%3A0%3A1%3A445E%3A453%3A1%3AC00000%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A (that's Kabel 1 for me) and there are many entries (e.g. a reocurring entry is Navy CIS: L.A. with the line Linda Hunt (Henrietta "Hetty" Lange)). My tests are on Ubuntu with CURL, WGET, Chromium and Firefox and all show the same behaviour.

I think i have found the root cause.
The Cheetah template to build the xml have a feature named websafe.
This filter encodes the text again and therefore we have double encoding.
I will try to fix this.

please check the latest version

Thanks for the fix and sorry for the delay, but my box has gone temporary EOL and only yesterday I received a (propably last) update.

I've checked with KODI as client and everything works as expected, there are no longer wrong escape signs in the EPG.
