"Input is not proper UTF-8" message #630
Comments
The message shows that the error is not due to your file, but is due to a problem in MediaConch during parsing of the file. |
Sorry. Yes. I am running 17.11 GUI (on a PC). Just installed this morning. The only Status column I see is in the Results but I do not see a force analyze option associated with it. I have tried closing and re-launching the application and reanalyzing. I got the same results. |
Okay. I see the force analyze option. I used it and this time I get a failure X for both implementation (not valid) and policy. In case it matters, the file being analyzed is on a network share. |
I uninstalled Media Conch using unist.exe then reinstalled it. When I launched the application the GUI had already loaded the file that I analyzed in the previous installation with the same failed results. Where is the cache that made that possible? |
Cache is in |
The cache isn't the issue nor do I think the file I am testing is. I have done the following 5 times with the same results so either it is the application, the implementation, or me.

This is what I said yesterday. |
Thank you, Jerome. I'm just trying to provide you with as much info as possible. |
Would be actually faster for me (no need to find other files) if you can provide the file. Is it possible for you to provide the file? (privately if the file can not be publicly shared) |
I can share the file privately. Do you have a way I can send it to you? It is 1.2 GB. |
please drop an email at info@mediaarea.net |
mediainfo is placing a copyright symbol directly into an attribute which seems to break parsing in some (maybe not all) environments. The copyright symbol could be escaped such as |
Jerome - This is to confirm that I sent an email to info@mediaarea.net. |
@Lawrence58 I answered with credentials when I get the email, did you receive the answer? |
I apologize for the delay. I confirm I can reproduce the issue and that it is a MediaConch bug. |
Not seen before because we map most of such metadata to MediaInfo fields, not the case with some of them (the ones for time code in metadata, supporting them is on my ToDo-list) and we were badly storing them with wrong character encoding. You need to reprocess files ("force analyze" button). |
Thanks Jerome! You're the best! |
I suggest to reopen as this error persists:

@g-maxime I tested the GUI and CLI, GUI looks fine but CLI looks to have an issue. |
Hello,
I analyzed a video file against the Memoriav Video Files Recommendations policy. According to Media Info the file I tested is YUV, 10 bit, 4:2:2. According to my understanding this should have passed the "Format is uncompressed 4:2:2 10 bit (and)" sub-policy but in the results I get a big red X with the following explanation.
Validation generated an internal error: Entity: line 121: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xA9 0x54 0x49 0x4D ame">FIEL</d></b><d o="7786" n="Data">(18 bytes)</d></b><b o="7804" n="Text" i="
What does this mean? Complete Media Info output follows.
Thank you.
