Bugzilla – Bug 1130
album characters displayed incorrectly in playlists
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:01 UTC
Playlist loaded from iTunes. In 'Browse Playlists' & 'the current playlist' (default skin) I see: Better Change Your Mind from World Psychedelic Classics, Vol. 3: Love’s a Real Thing by William Onyeabor How Say from Pip Paine (Pay Back The £5000 You Owe) by Metronomy Click through to the songs and the characters are correct: Album: World Psychedelic Classics, Vol. 3: Love�s a Real Thing Album: Pip Paine (Pay Back The �5000 You Owe) In Fishbone 'browse playlists' is correct but 'current playlist' is wrong. On Softsqueeze the 1st track is wrong - ? instead of ' - but the 2nd is correct.
James, is this an .m3u/.pls file or is it a playlist imported directly from iTunes? I believe there is an issue with both reading and writing playlists related to the encoding. We currently write out in the locale encoding and assume playlists we read in are in the same encoding. This could be a bad assumption for reading in existing playlists (should we assume Latin1?). When we write out, Dan suggests we should use the File::BOM package to write out in utf-8.
Could be related to bug 1139.
Imported direct from iTunes. I don't appear to be having any problems in playback. All my location settings are basic English/UK.
This problem is gone in last night's version!
cool, good to hear.
