Character set issue in progress status of music scan
Last modified: 2011-09-26 22:59:52 UTC
The status page of the music scan show wrong characters on Ubuntu (utf-8) for non latin fodler / file names. This seems related to #9430, just at a different place. The operations are not impacted. It is easy to reproduce if you put a non latin character in a top level folder. Here is what is shown in page named Etat (french): Analyse du répertoire (1669 de 2013) En cours d'exécution 00:02:22 /music/flac/Thèmes/Cor de Baselglia Müstair/07 La sera.flac
What exact build are you using? There have been changes to this behaviour in recent 7.2.1 builds.
This is after 23382 but before 23398 (I am not home now, but I will check and post tonight). I update whenever there is a new update for Ubuntu, I have not found what triggered the creation of new Ubuntu kits, seems more frequent than numbered releases.
Created attachment 4111 [details] looking ok here Screenshot taken on Ubuntu 8.04. What locale are you using? Would you mind uploading a small sample file?
The exact version is Version du SqueezeCenter : 7.2.1 - 23384 @ Fri Oct 3 02:08:01 PDT 2008 - Debian - FR - utf8 The LANG is LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8 The text I mentioned in the original report was taken from the screen (I need to figure out how to make a screenshot) Analyse du répertoire (1669 de 2013) En cours d'exécution 00:02:22 /music/flac/Thèmes/Cor de Baselglia Müstair/07 La sera.flac I may look in the patch since 23384 and see if one of them may solve the problem.
what browser are you using? (BTW: shouldn't this be "Baselgia" without the additional L? :-))
Created attachment 4112 [details] save of html page file with the problem This is a Save As during the a complete idnex rebuild while the problem occured on the screen.
>BTW: shouldn't this be "Baselgia" without the >additional L? :-) Yes. Now this is support ! thanks I am using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092510 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.3 The system just updated to 23422, and the problem persists.I have attached a save as of the page when the problem occurred, There is a line <div id="Info0">/music/flac/Thèmes/Virtuoso Vengerov/04 Schön Rosmarin.flac</div> in status.html I hope this helps.
Michael: please assign back to QA if you need us to do any further investigation on this one.
I'm sorry James, but I can't find any of your test results. I wasn't able to reproduce this. Are you?
Ross: can you give this a go at reproducing the error?
Created attachment 4228 [details] screen shot I just reproduced this. Simple steps: /music folder/Ä/large library that takes at least a few minutes to scan Clear and rescan, then look at the scanning progress on the information tab of settings. The Ä directory shows a strange character. Possibly this is just the character the Ubuntu GUI shows when it doesn't recognize a character? I'm attaching a screen shot because I'm not describing what I'm seeing well. Note this is only reproducible while SC is scanning a directory with utf8 characters.
Ross - what exact server configuration (perl version, distro etc.) are you using? Bitli/Ross - what browser are you using? I think there was an issue with Safari 2.x.
SC 7.3 - 23875, Perl 5.10.0, Ubuntu 8.10. I'm using firefox 3.0.3
Ross - running FF3 on the same machine as squeezecenter?
(In reply to comment #14) > Ross - running FF3 on the same machine as squeezecenter? > Yes. Did you want me to try seeing how it looks from another machine?
Well... feel free to do so. Always good to have a data point. I just wanted to be sure I have all the information needed to reproduce the issue. Haven't installed Ubuntu 8.10 yet.
Ross - could you please give this another try. I've checked in a few more fixes to the utf8 handling.
Created attachment 4461 [details] wrong character Tried an umlaut over a lower case a, the screen shot shows what I see. It's different than it was, but still appears wrong.
> Tried an umlaut over a lower case a, the screen shot shows what I see. It's > different than it was, but still appears wrong. How did you create that folder? I'll have to test this on Perl 5.10
Using Gnome gui, created a directory and named it with an umlaut character I copied from the web.
We are now planning to make a 7.3.3 release. Please review your bugs (all marked open against 7.3.3) to see if they can be fixed in the next few weeks, or if they should be retargeted for 7.4 or future. Thanks!
I'm sorry, this has to wait.
Andy - can't test this issue, as the filenames do not show up on the progress page any more. Is this by design?
I think I left that out of the new scanner progress stuff, will see if I can add it back.
Moving all SQLite-related bugs to 8.0.
I can repro this on 7.4 -- looks like the filenames are back on the scanner page.
SQLite bugs need to go back to 7.6 target.
Filenames don't display during the scan progress on the 7.6 branch, so this bug is fixed there already. If this is being targetted to 7.6, we may as well mark it fixed.
Can anyone confirm if this still happens?
I think I've still seen it on my Linux box during the image scan. Will monitor more closely during next scan.
