Description Ken Hokugo 2005-05-08 21:25:39 UTC

I have a few Japanese CDs whose songs' titles are Japanese.  By 6.0.3, 
SlimServer cannot play those songs (SB2 says "can't open files": which, I 
recall, 5.4 could play).  Moreover, SlimServer categorises these albums as "No 
genre" as well as "No Artist" and "No Album".  Maybe I should translate these 
song titles to English somehow, but could you do something about this even 
though these cannot be displayed properly on SB2, yet?

Dan: do you know what's going on here?

Comment 2 Dan Sully 2005-06-07 16:38:39 UTC

I believe my recent Unicode changes in the 6.1 tree will help with this.

Comment 3 Blackketter Dean 2005-06-13 17:28:05 UTC

Ken: Are the "titles" the file names or the titles in the ID3 tags?  Also, can you try the latest nightly 
release and let us know if it's improved with dan's recent fixes?

Comment 4 Ken Hokugo 2005-06-13 22:17:36 UTC

Dean, the "titles" are file names, I think.
Unfortunately, I have translated the titles to English and can't try the 
nightly for that purpose.  I just couldn't wait.  Sorry.  If I did buy another 
Japanese CD, then I will try it.  Thanks anyway for good work.

Moving this forward to 6.2 since we're coming down to the wire on 6.1.

Comment 6 KDF 2005-08-09 14:16:51 UTC

does change 3866 fix this for 6.2 builds?

Comment 7 Dan Sully 2005-08-09 14:17:53 UTC

Yes, it should.
