Swedish Unicode characters not working
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:36:01 UTC
Filenames containing swedish characters åäö will not be visible in Slimserver when running on Red Hat Linux iso8859-1. The files will appear initially after the first scan of the music directory, but disappear shortly thereafter (possibly triggered by browsing from SLIMP3/SB2) dissappear. The files wil be invisible when browsing folders but will still be visible when browsing albums/artists. However trying to play files with swedish characters by selecting them from album/artist browsing will only result in them being stopped on the player. Using the same files on Slimserver 6.1.1 on Win XP will work. The same problem exists both in Slimserver 6.1.1 / 6.1.2 and 6.2.
Created attachment 903 [details] Files with uc-filenames with and without swedish characters preserve directory-structure when unzipping and use these files as the music directory in Slimserver
What version of Perl are you running? perl -v will tell you.
Perl version 5.8.0
Please upgrade to something > 5.8.3 - anything less is quite broken with respect to Unicode handling. Preferably 5.8.7
