Created attachment 5739 [details] wrong
Felix, Richard - are there limitations in what a player can store in a player name (on the device itself)?
this was correct before 7.4 and until I changed something in the playername...
also to mention this player (sb3) is most of the time off (powerless) so not visible to the server.
Michael: It just stores whatever SC sends, i.e. max 32 ascii characters. I guess it depends on how they are interpreted though. Maybe if it gets set from one PC and looked at from another with different localization settings it might go wrong?
Schindler - tested this successfully. "Boom Täscht" survived switching back and forth between several SCs and Squeezenetwork and showed up correctly on all of them. What browser have you been using to rename the player? Did you rename it when connected to SC or SN? Can you deliberately reproduce it?
I don't know in which browser i changed, I use Google Chrome on XP, IE8 on XP and Vista. I only use the local server. (Vista Ultimate/German). Right now I changed it again with Google Chrome. Will see if it changes again... As I wrote the player is most of the time off (powerless). Maybe that is the problem...
just installed Version: 7.4 - r28379 and player name back to: B�ro Cornelia Just only on the: Player-Modell: squeezebox3 Firmware: 130 On the one Boom where I also added for test purpose an ü this is still intact. Now I changed it back with IE8 on XP - will see...
booted the server and back to B�ro Cornelia. I just changed names on all players and booted the server (windows) again. all are wrong now... here me server.prefs

working ok on OSX, need to test on Windows
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #28411 to the slim repo by michael == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=28411 == Fixed Bug: 13747 +1 Description: on Windows we need to make sure the playername is utf8 encoded before sending it to the device
with Version: 7.4 - r28420 I still see this problem.
Did you set the player name again with that version? The issue occurs when setting the name, not when reading. Also - do you see any error message in server.log?
many...

when I change it it is ok for some time. until now (today) it is still ok. Can wait until tomorrow and will report again...
I mean since I changed this evening...
maybe this get changed during the update to the lattest beta?
(In reply to comment #19) > maybe this get changed during the update to the lattest beta? Don't know what you mean. But if the name was corrupted before the upgrade, you'll have to set it again after the upgrade. The issue I've fixed was when writing the name to the device. Thus you'll have to write that name once before it'll be fixed.
it is ok, no more change even after server reboot. thanks and sorry for reopen...
Thanks for testing!
