CLI : "status" command returns wrong greek characters
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:29:30 UTC
This applies to 7.0.1-18767, 7.0.1-19608, 7.1-19634. 7.0 and 6.x are OK. The CLI "status" command returns wrong greek characters in tags. Other CLI commands, like "title ?" or "album ?" work fine.
I could attach a file with greek characters in tags, if it would help.
The file would be very helpful. Also, what response are you seeing now in the CLI?
Created attachment 3450 [details] mp3 file with greek tags
I attached a file with greek characters in tags. (In reply to comment #2) > Also, what response are you seeing now in the > CLI? > Christopher, I'm not sure what you mean with "now". If you mean last nightlies, I haven't tried them (should I?). If you mean what the wrong characters are like, they are some strange symbols (not characters of any language).
What local is XP set to? This is what I'm seeing: title ? 00%3A04%3A20%3A16%3A06%3A23 title %CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%87%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF% 82%20%CE%A4%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%82%20-%20%CE%A3%CF%84%CE%B1%20%CF%85%CF%8 0%CF%8C%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1%20%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CE%B7%20%CE% B8%CE%AD%CE%B1
(In reply to comment #5) > What local is XP set to? > Greek. If it helps, the only (from the few I have downloaded) 7x version that displays correct greek characters is 7.0 - 17793 - Windows XP - EN - cp1253. (I'll be back next Friday, won't be online until then.)
Thanks Pulp. I've set my language and location to Greek / Greece. I've tried with latest 7.2 as well as 7.0 and status and title ? always return hex for me. Are you also seeing hex and converting that manually or did the CLI actually print Greek?
Νο, I don't convert, it returns Greek. Have you tried the exact same nightly (not any 7.0) that I mentioned above? It should work perfectly. Thanks for looking into it.
Pulp is this a Greek version of XP or is it XP switched to Greek in the language preferences?
XP switched to Greek in the language preferences
Please update to the latest 7.3 revision 23806 or later. I've checked in a few changes regarding character encoding in CLI.
(In reply to comment #10) > XP switched to Greek in the language preferences I want you to know I haven't forgotten about this bug. But I'm having a really tough time with this switch, I change the language to Greek in language prefs and it keeps changing back to English. I'll keep at it, please let us know what you find with Michael's changes to 7.3.
Pulp - any chance you could give 7.3 a try? The results I'm getting seem to be correct: albums 0 10 charset:iso-8859-1 albums 0 10 charset%3Aiso-8859-1 id%3A1 album%3A%CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%87%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF%82%20%CE%A4%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%82%20-%202004%20-%20%CE%A3%CF%84%CE%B1%20%CF%85%CF%80%CF%8C%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1%20%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CE%B7%20%CE%B8%CE%AD%CE%B1 count%3A1 which decodes to: "Πασχάλης Τερζής - 2004 - Στα υπόγεια είναι η θέα" (which is Greek to me :-))
With 7.3-23820 all files with a greek or accented character in their path or filename do not play or get added to the playlist. We had a bug like that back to the 5.3 days. Sorry for not being able to test the rest now, I'll do it in the weekend.
> With 7.3-23820 all files with a greek or accented character in their path or > filename do not play or get added to the playlist. My fix for the search issue breaks all kind of other features :-(. I've reverted yesterday's change to fix a search issue. (rev. 23828).
(In reply to comment #12) >I change the language to Greek in language prefs > and it keeps changing back to English. > Ross, I just tested and you don't have to switch to Greek in the "Regional Options", but only in the "Advanced" Tab, "Language for non-Unicode programs". Then, the Squeezecenter version mentioned above (7.0 - 17793 - Windows XP - EN - cp1253) returns Greek just fine (the status command at least).
Thank you. I'm now able to validate this bug, CLI does indeed not the correct Greek characters, it prints: %CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%87%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF% 82%20%CE%A4%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%82%20-%20%CE%A3%CF%84%CE%B1%20%CF%85%CF%8 0%CF%8C%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1%20%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CE%B7%20%CE% B8%CE%AD%CE%B1 Which I believe translates to: Πασχάλης ΤεÏζής Στα Ï…Ï€Ïγεια είναι η θÎα Instead of: Πασχάλης Τερζής - Στα υπόγεια είναι η θέα

pulp - did you test thiw with a recent 7.3.3 build?
(In reply to comment #19) > pulp - did you test thiw with a recent 7.3.3 build? I hope I will tomorrow evening. Sorry for taking so long to test, but since I moved to WHS, changing 7.0 and 7.3 builds back and forth is not as easy as it was with XP. pulp
I tried yesterdays nightly and it's working perfectly. I can order a boom at last. Thanks to everyone involved.
