Description Jordan Irwin 2014-07-28 08:10:31 UTC 
Whenever I run mencoder I get the message "iconv: conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-8 unsupported". Not sure if it's affecting anything as I haven't done any real converting with mencoder yet.

Terminal output:
$ mencoder
iconv: conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-8 unsupported

over to maintainer
Comment 2 Alexander Nedotsukov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-03 02:08:06 UTC 
Not a maintaner. Bouncing back.

Anyway, I doubt that this is an issue with libiconv port itself.
Just to prove that can you please run command below:

$ echo foobar | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8

If you do not see any errors than I'd rather look into mencoder itself, or perhaps
there is something special about your setup which you did not mention.
Comment 3 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-16 13:13:45 UTC 
I don't observe the issue in either mencoder or mplayer.

What?

Go look at converters/iconv/Makefile

MAINTAINER= bland@FreeBSD.org


Where's the breakdown?
Comment 5 Jordan Irwin 2014-08-16 20:20:46 UTC 
$ echo foobar | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8
foobar

Quoting original mail for you:

Possible packages related to issue:
multimedia/mencoder
multimedia/mplayer
>>> converters/libiconv

Can you see it now?
I also suggest you to go and look at /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/iconv.mk to avoid confusion going forward.
Comment 7 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-17 22:47:58 UTC 
The breakdown is the original title "[converters/iconv] Message: conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-8 unsupported"

Using this title means the converters/iconv is the port is question.  I see the port in the title, I assign to the maintainer of that port.

I could have read the description closer but the damn title lead me astray, that's the source of the issue.
Comment 8 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-17 22:49:02 UTC 
change very misleading title.
Comment 9 Marcus von Appen freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-29 08:32:44 UTC 
@Jordan: Does the issue still occur for you?

@Alexander: Jordan provided the output in comment 5, which seems to indicate that iconv itself is not at fault, correct?
Comment 10 Jordan Irwin 2014-12-01 05:13:52 UTC 
Yes, this issue still occurs on my system.
Comment 11 VK freebsd_triage 2016-12-12 02:38:43 UTC 
Jordan, thanks for the report. As it's been two years, I'm closing this. If this problem still appears, which I doubt, please file a new report or reopen this one.
