"\xCD" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

[dirceu-jr]

While trying to use exif in a Rails app (utf-8 by default).

Can you give me some examples or sample images so that I can reproduce the same issue? Thanks!

Hi. I tried again today. I could get it to print exif data into Terminal. But when I try to render it in the Rails app, like:

file_io = IO.read(filename)
img_data = Exif::Data.new(file_io)
exif = img_data[:exif]    
render json: exif

Rails throws:

Encoding::UndefinedConversionError ("\xA5" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8):

I'm using "exifr" until I figure out how to use "exif".

谢谢

@dirceup you should just force the string to convert to UTF-8.

str.encode(Encoding.find('UTF-8'), {invalid: :replace, undef: :replace, replace: ''})
