For some reason Mconf-Live is returning encoded values for metadata fields when "non-standard" characters are used.

For example, passing the metadata "meta_test=GRAVAÇÃO" will result in the following:

• The string is encoded so it can be used in a URL. The create URL will be something like:

  The metadata is encoded as: meta_test=GRAVA%C3%87%C3%82O. This is encoded with javascript's @encodeURIComponent@.

• @getMeetingInfo@ will return this metadata encoded in another format:

  This is "hex code" format, see: http://www.danshort.com/HTMLentities/index.php?w=latin

• @getRecordings@ returns the same "hex code"-encoded string, but inside a CDATA[]:

Probably Mconf-Live should unescape the values received since they will always be encoded/escaped (they come in a URL).
