Description sbjaerum 2008-01-25 23:22:32 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
Comment 1 Michael Herger 2008-01-26 03:18:39 UTC
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).
Comment 2 Michael Herger 2008-03-17 07:14:22 UTC
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.
Comment 3 Michael Herger 2008-03-18 02:20:12 UTC
change 17910 - make sure the utf8 encoded music path variable is converted to the server's locale

Steinar - does this change work for you?
Comment 4 Michael Herger 2008-03-19 03:13:01 UTC
Feel free to re-open if this didn't fix it for you. Successfully tested, even with some Hebrew folder name.

Comment 6 Henry Denander 2008-05-08 01:07:39 UTC
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 - 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?
Comment 10 Michael Herger 2008-05-09 07:29:25 UTC
Also: what's your music folder setting? Looks like it's "..\Min musik"? No accented character in there.
Comment 11 Henry Denander 2008-05-09 11:54:53 UTC
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

playlists laying around?

Ok, but that's yet another issue - this bug is about setting a path name. 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?
Comment 13 Michael Herger 2008-05-20 00:56:22 UTC
Please open a new bug for this issue with the aforementioned additional information. It's not the same as originally reported here. Thanks.
