Description Julius Dauz 2008-07-15 14:39:09 UTC
The Controller will not connect to a network with an SSID that contains non-ascii characters.

Example:

SSID on the router: résdau
Controller will see: r_dau

Try to connect and it will fail

The customer I helped had his network set up like this on an airport router, but I did not get the exact model number before he had to get off of the phone. I will get additional details the next time I speak to him.

Reproduced relatively easily, not all routers allow for non-ascii SSID's, Dlink does. Exactly as Julius describes SSID of résdau SBC sees r_dau and fails to connect.

Ben: you the right person to assign this too?

Comment 6 Blackketter Dean 2009-07-22 08:39:16 UTC
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code.  Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
Comment 7 Ben Klaas 2009-08-26 07:46:43 UTC
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
Comment 8 Felix Mueller 2009-09-30 12:05:52 UTC
Need to retest. I think that should be ok now.
Comment 9 Felix Mueller 2009-10-01 06:23:02 UTC
This is fixed in 7.4.

BTW: Out of four routers I tried only one allowed to set the SSID to résdau.
