Description Dan Evans 2006-04-28 15:17:22 UTC

(please see support ticket 1144 for reference.)

User has an intel Mac, with 10.4.6, running SS 6.2.2, FW 45.  He also tried SS 6.5b.

He is playing songs with hebrew titles and artists.  The hebrew text appears correctly in iTunes and Slimserver.  The few issues that remain are:

 * On the Squeezebox, the hebrew text is being displayed in reverse character order.  (that characters are correct, but words are reversed.)

 * Some of his song files that have hebrew filenames do not show up in a Slimserver search.  He's tried a rescan.

It's not expected to work with 6.2.2, but it should work with 6.5.

Dean - is it possible that the bidiflip is reversing already reversed chars?

Daniel - the not finding hebrew named files is bug 2475. There is no fix yet, and likely won't be one soon. A work around is to rename the files to be in ascii.

Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2006-07-11 14:03:24 UTC

I don't think so.  the order of the characters is opposite of the rendering, I imagine.  Double check by looking at the song info on iTunes vs. SlimServer.

Comment 6 Dan Sully 2006-07-26 16:52:40 UTC

Ok, double checked - this all works. Same as iTunes. With the shocker code in, scrolling even goes in the correct direction.
