playlist_move doesn't work

hi,
i am trying to create a custom http-interface and tried a little bit coding today. wasn't easy to find the help (http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/apb.html). got more and more into the code but now got stuck.

<vlc id="set" param1="mfrom" param2="string" /> or
<vlc id="set" param1="mto" param2="int" /> or
<vlc id="rpn" param1="mto mfrom playlist_move" />

are not working (for sure not together like in this example).
no output, nothing, they're only not working. found a workaround for id="set", but don't thing i will find one for "playlist_move" ("playlist_delete", id="value" and others DO work)...

do i need another vlc version? (tried it with 0.8.4a and with 0.8.5-test1-20060325-0000)
i have to use the 2 indices with "playlist_move", or not?

thx 4 help

next prob:
got problems with the german umlauts (ÄÖÜäöü, etc.).
i want to add a file with umlauts in the filename to the playlist, tried it with:

<vlc id="rpn" param1="'C:\\Just a Folder\\Gesprächsrunde.wmv' Talk playlist_add" />

but it only adds the follwing file:
C:\Just a Folder\Gespr?chsrunde.wmv

it was already hard to find out how to use the "playlist_add" command without umlauts...

i'm trying now a workaround for "playlist_move": deleting some files in the playlist and readding them....

when i try to add this file with the old http-interface it works, with the new interface it doesn't work...

yours,
SoulCover

P.S.: i am using windows xp prof. sp1

You need to change --http-charset to the appropriate encoding name on the server side (something like ISO-8859-1 should work ... at least it does in france :) )

thx, ISO-8859-1 worked, tried it only with UNICODE ^^

until now no new probs (workarounds are working around ^^)
