Description Michael Herger 2008-01-24 00:23:51 UTC
When browsing the music folder on the player, umlauts/accented characters are replaced by their non-accented version (ö -> o, é -> e), followed by a bit of white space. They show up correctly when displaying the tags or browsing the database.

Tested on Windows & OSX using SoftSqueeze and a SB3, but only appears to be broken on OSX.

Michael: are you looking at this for 7.0?
Comment 4 Michael Herger 2008-01-25 20:37:57 UTC
I have spent some time on it, but consider it fairly minor. We can target it for 7.0, but it's no show stopper. 
Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2008-01-25 20:59:55 UTC
Let's push it out if it's not a big deal.  We got bigger fish to fry.
Comment 6 Michael Herger 2008-03-27 11:28:12 UTC
wasted another hour on this issue - wont fix for 7.0.1. Let's have people report this issue before I investigate any further.
Comment 7 Stefan 2008-11-01 11:28:50 UTC
Example: Songs 'Züri' and 'Lied für Zwärge' by Sophie Hunger do not appear as Songs when browsing her album. 

Züri - Sophie Hunger.mp3
Lied Für Zwärge - Sophie Hunger.mp3

12 of the 14 track show up only - those that do not contain an accented Charater. Do I have to cripple all affected songs in my collection in a 'Zueri' fashion?



Surprisingly, playing the songs missing in the MUSIC LIBRARY from the Music Folder view makes them accessible from MUSIC LIBRARY! (Not sure if they survive a rescan for new/changed)

The Umlaut Problem seems to affect Artist Name like Die Ärzte and Song Names only, but not Album Titles... to be confirmed.

So I assume we have the working scan pattern in Album Name and should apply it to Artist and Song Name. 

SSODS: Release 3.15 
SC: 7.2.1

Stefan - what player are you using? Does it make a difference whether you browse the music folder using the web UI or the remote control?

What are your system details (Settings/Status)?
Comment 9 Stefan 2008-11-03 08:19:59 UTC
- What player are you using? 1 SB3 and 1 Boom

- Does it make a difference whether you browse the music folder using the web UI or the remote control? Doesn't make a difference, affected track are just invisible in UI as well as on SB Display


- What are your system details (Settings/Status)?

Oh, I think we're talking about different things here: the original case (which I reported) was missing _characters_ only, not the full tracks. What you are reporting is missing tracks. Would you mind opening a new bug for your issue? It could then be better targetted. Just paste all the information you've given us so fare in to a new bug. Thanks!

I'll give that another try.
Comment 12 Michael Herger 2009-01-13 07:51:36 UTC
Some real unicode filenames, like eg. 02 - Πασχάλης Τερζής - Στα υπόγεια είναι η θέα are displayed, while simple ones with an umlaut or similar fail (Dvořák).

I noticed that re-composing would fix the latter, while breaking the first.

Waiting for a Mac user using BMF _and_ hitting this issue before I continue my investigation.

Hi Michael, just ripped an old Die Fantastischen Vier CD and did a rescan for new/changed to test and confirm what you already know : ) 
All Tracks are available from the MUSIC LIBRARY, Populär and Frühstück included. W/o renaming the file to Populaer..  So the problem seems solved for my way of using SC, a big 

THANK YOU!
