lrfviewer & reader error after html conversion

[BrendenM]

I've converted a fairly decent sized html book (50+ chapters each ~30k) using the defaults of html2lrf with --ignore-tables. The conversion process seems to go smooth, not one single error or warning after tossing on the --ignore-tables parameter.

However when I open the lrf with lrfviewer I get the following error.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode bytes in position 1392-1393: illegal encoding
Failed to render document
Detailed traceback:

I know lrfviewer is for testing purposes so I've also tried it on my 500 and WOW, instant hard lock and complete hard reboot after about a minute.

Any idea on what I should toss onto html2lrf to successfully generate the lrf?

Can you link this eBook or maybe attach it here (if it is legal to do so)>

Unfortunately I can't link the ebook.

I think I figured it out. It was the --encoding option. I had to set it to --encoding="cp1252", the man information suggests cp-1252 however and that isn't accepted.
