How are you trying to play those tracks? Browse Music Folder? Playing from Artists/Albums or similar?

The Controller's language setting shouldn't have any impact on this. It's rather the server configuration.

It happens when I browse the music folders. I always played music that way, but I now tried to browse by artists and albums. That seems to work ok.
My server is running Windows Home server. What kind of configuration could give these problems? I never had any problems of this kind until I upgraded to 7.4.1. However, I don't exactly know when the problems occurred after upgrading.

what are the server details as you find them in Settings/Information (web UI)?

I just stumbled across the same thing (I think).

If I try to Browse Music Folder, to a folder that contains a sub-folder with accented characters, it is reporting errors:

Phil - you're seeing a different issue. The original report is about the Controller interface not showing a few items. Yours is rather about the web UI crashing.

tskjaerpe - could you please give me the details as in comment #3? Also: if you scroll down at the bottom of the list, would those items show up down there?

tskjaerpe - any update? Could you please provide the server.log file from when you try to do this?

This is working fine for me in SBS 7.5. Please feel free to re-open this bug if you still see the issue with 7.5. Thanks!

Sorry for answering a bit late, but I have been away for a while.
The problem with foreign charachters are still very much alive. It also happens with accented charachters like those in Spanish and French.
I must admitt that I still am running v. 7.4.1 since that one presently is giving me not too much trouble. Before, I had all sorts of connecting and rebuffering problems. I was on my way to the Sonos store when I 7.4.1 seemed to solve the most serious problems. The system is still a bit shaky, but I don't dare risking another update until it is dead stable.

I did not find any "information" menu under "setting" in the Web GUI. Concerning the server log file, is this what you asked for?:

I opened bug 16353 (did not find this one through search, sorry!) and can confirm its presence in every software version from 7.4.1 to 7.5.1. My problem is with swedish characters åäö/ÅÄÖ.

Please tell me if you'd need any further assistance (testing, file structure info, logs and so on) from my side and I'll do what I can to help. As far as I'm concerned, this problem really is the last major flaw with SB. In other aspects, the software has improved drastically with the last versions.

Fixed bug 15460: Track with Extended ASCII in directory name fails to appear in Browse Music Folder

Got SB server build 7.6.0-32364    Touch fw 9430, Radio fw 9432

I can still see this issue:

If the folder has accents or umlauts or extended ascii: 
the file is not seen from the player UI: browse music folder

Now it is working after clean install on Mac 10.6 .7 , W7 64 and XP32. Have3 not verified on WHS build

Verified on 7.6.32407 ------The ext-asci tracks are showing correctly in Browse Music Folder.   There are still some issues with tracks not appearing in BMF--=

Adding folders and files with foreign character seemed to cause some of my 'normal' tracks to not be seen in the browse music folder ----willl open a new big if I can reproduce the steps
