Bugzilla – Bug 6789
Accented characters in music folder setting not accepted
Last modified: 2009-07-31 10:16:26 UTC
When trying to set the Music Folder to D:\audio\flac\ÆØÅ, I get the message: Invalid value "D:\audio\flac\ÆØÅ" for audiodir even though the folder exist on my disk. This is on WinXP with SC 7.0 r16779
We're facing two issues here: first it doesn't find the path for some reason. Second: even if it found the path, it wouldn't correctly remember it after a reboot, as storing preferences with non-lating characters is broken (see bug 6621).
while issue two now is fixed, I had to disable it for the music path as otherwise even subfolders/files with non-latin characters would not have been found. There's more work to do for this problem. Just use a base folder without non-latin character in it for now.
change 17910 - make sure the utf8 encoded music path variable is converted to the server's locale Steinar - does this change work for you?
Feel free to re-open if this didn't fix it for you. Successfully tested, even with some Hebrew folder name.

I just downloaded the latest nightly, still this does not work for me in Music Folder view. Seems like the other views work fine and I click and the music plays. If I change a folder name to exclude all special characters, then it works fine - even if I have special characters in the tags... ---Henry
Hey - I searched but can't find info on how to REOPEN this bug... ---Henry
Created attachment 3331 [details] scan log Michael, Now the scan log worked, I copied it into a .txt file wich I enclose, please let me know if you need something else. ---Henry
Henry - I think you were not allowed to re-open as you aren't the reporter of the bug. As for your log: I see error messages about files which don't have _any_ non latin character in their file/path name, eg. c:\Documents and Settings\Henry\Mina dokument\Min musik\Bill Laswell-Fanu - Lodge - 2008\Track01.mp3 Do all these files really exist at all? And as the list is rather short - are at least some files found?
Also: what's your music folder setting? Looks like it's "..\Min musik"? No accented character in there.
Hi Michael, strange, that Bill Laswell album is deleted... But the second album H�kan Hellstr�m is in my folder, it has Swedish charcters � � � and does not work for me, will not play from Music Folder view ---Henry On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 9:21 AM, <bugs@bugs.slimdevices.com> wrote: > https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6789 > > > Michael Herger <michael@slimdevices.com> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Status|CLOSED |REOPENED > Resolution|FIXED | > > > > > --- Comment #9 from Michael Herger <michael@slimdevices.com> 2008-05-09 > 00:21:39 --- > Henry - I think you were not allowed to re-open as you aren't the reporter > of > the bug. > > As for your log: I see error messages about files which don't have _any_ > non > latin character in their file/path name, eg. > c:\Documents and Settings\Henry\Mina dokument\Min musik\Bill Laswell-Fanu - > Lodge - 2008\Track01.mp3 > > Do all these files really exist at all?

Yours rather sounds like bug 7752. I'd suggest you open a new bug clearly describing your issue, configuration and uploading a full log from when you try to access this folder/track. Does it show up and play in browse by album/artist etc. views?
Please open a new bug for this issue with the aforementioned additional information. It's not the same as originally reported here. Thanks.
