SS 6.0.1: UTF-8 in file/directory name

[Dolf Dijkstra]

Hi,

Just upgraded my 5.4 slim server to 6.0.1 (on RH9) to host my new SB2.

After the scan I found my collection a bit small.

Looked in slimserver.log

utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode at
/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Formats/Parse.pm line 131.
[/music/test/own/Latin/Various Artists/Caf\xE9 Do Brazil/Marcos Valle - A
Vontage De Rever Voce 09.flac] does not exist or cannot be read: No such
file or directory at /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Audio/FLAC/Header.pm line
59, <GEN6> line 6. <similar lines reported often)

I have unloaded most of my music via a samba3 share. On windows explorer (on
XP) this directroty looks ok: Café Do Brazil (with the accented e). Linux ls
like it less, but I don't (didn't??) really care about what ls says because
5.4 did not have issues with these file/directory names.

Please don't tell me that I need to rename all my directories . There must
but a silver bullit somewhere.

Anybody who has dealt with this before or give me some hints on how to
recover?

Thanks

Dolf

Is your music on the Windows machine (via Samba) or local to the RH9 machine?

What does your LC_CTYPE environment variable look like?

I'm assuming it's: en_US.UTF-8 (or similar).

Can you try setting it to:

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1

and rescanning?
