[x-45]

using the config provided on github prevents the start up of ntfd with the error Failed to read config file: hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)

Check what encoding you're using for the config file, it has to be UTF-8

[x-45]

It is indeed UTF-8

[kamek-pf]

I'm not sure then, I can't reproduce :( Did you compile yourself ? Or a you using the binary from the release page ?

[x-45]

I used the binary provided in the AUR.

[kamek-pf]

I still believe this is an encoding issue, are you using special characters (anything non ascii) in your config file ?

The way I'm parsing config files might be flawed '_'

[kamek-pf]

Could also be caused by the default encoding, could you paste the output of the locale command ?

[x-45]

I am using en_AU.UTF-8

I am having the same problem I think, it says the same error if I run ntfd &, but it also says that the The name io.ntfd was not provided by any .service files It could be an issue with the config files but I doubt it, I changed nearly nothing:

[openweathermap]
enabled = true

api_key = "file:~/.config/ntfd/openweathermap.txt"

city_id = "2756253"

notification_timeout = 10

notification_body = "Expected within the next 3 hours"

sync_frequency = 1800 # 30 minutes

display = "{{ temp_icon }} {{ temp_celsius }}°C {{ trend }} {{ forecast_icon }} {{ forecast_celsius }}°C"

Okay, I found that changing the locale through: $ localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 happened to fix the issue, thanks!

interestingly, I had the same problem but the fix didn't work on my end.
