How the national characters look in MY codepage :)

I have noticed that if the path (not the filename) contain some of my country's 
national characters, you cannot play any of the music files when selecting via
the touch unit itself (screen or remote). 
The Touch will show the folder and the content (music->folders->folder->music
files) correctly, also the specific national characters. But, when selecting
"play" via "right" or "play", it shows up with an "empty" message, and no
sound. 

It is possible to do same selection via PC browser control panel, and it plays
correctly.  

This <could> be something of the same as 15882 or 15139 or maybe not...

BUT  - my humble bid is that the "internal build" of the path to find the file
to play gets an incorrect syntax, somehow, unabling the play to take place.
When replacing the national character with an A->Z charaters problem goes away. 

This has worked nicely with my SB3, so it's to be considered a "childhood
disease". 

National (DK) characters are : 
Lower case: L1=æ L2=ø L3=å   Uppercase: U1=Æ U2=Ø U3=Å 


The preceding two lines are attached as BMP, i.e. to bypass codepage
differences...
PS: The Touch is a nice unit! :)

I really do not understand why this should be the case only from the Touch UI, when the same files play fine via a WebUI or from an SB3 UI. Please confirm that you have been using the same SqueezeboxServer in all cases and using the browse by music folder function each time.

In any case, I cannot reproduce this with Nordic characters with 7.6, where there has been a lot of work done on character-set handling. I think that it must be fixed there.
