Hi,
I'm missing plenty of music since I upgraded to SlimServer 6.
I have been running diverse versions up to 5.4.1 which was stable and fine. On the last weekend I changed to 6.03 then the nightly of 6.0, the nightly of 6.1 and today to the latest nightly.
None of the version 6 servers shows files or directories containing accented characters like the è in Bohème or umlauts like in Ärger. Directories containing only such a file / directory are shown empty.
To avoid misunderstandings, the names do not show up in the browser, nor are they found as result of a rescan (with or without wiping). The whole lot of directories and files has been in use for some time without any problems with 5.4.1.
I changed the LC_CTYPE from the default de_DE@euro to UTF-8 and iso-8859-1. (I created the test directories and file directly on the linux prompt to avoid any misunderstanding regarding e.g. Samba etc.; I also included a numbered dummy file to avoid any influence of the browser cache.) None helped. Is the database (as I learned UTF-8 encoded) limited to names with 8 bit characters? The tags containing upper characters are fine.
I'm very willing to do some test with debugging, which flag will show any relevant data? Where do I find the log-file?
But I fear strongly from what I've found in the forum: It's not a bug, it's a feature.
In the past with older versions there were similar problems, but they were erased with time.
Best regards
Wolfgang
