Example Filename:
03 - Tu Vacío.mp3
Has the ID3 tag of "Tu Vacío" as the title.
In Subsonic, it tries to think it's another folder and shows this weird character:
03 - Tu Vac��o.mp3
This happens with any extended character I come across. I hunted around for a while to finally determine it's the filename Subsonic does not like.
Little bit of history:
When I first came across Subsonic, I used the "Standalone Version" [.deb installation] for Ubuntu. I had a problem with special characters (probably doing something similar, I don't fully recall), and whatever research I did way back then told me to install Tomcat and use the WAR installation. It worked beautifully, I was happy, all was well. [I just looked at my old posts and it was at least a problem with ID3 tags back then, I don't know if I had special characters in filenames then]
Then, I don't know the exact spot where things fell apart. I've gone through a combination of "I'm not listening to this music" and swapping Linux installations and re-ripping my entire library after a hard drive crash, and the aforementioned problem now exists again, and seems a tad worse.
The answers I'm finding involve adding the LANG to the Subsonic startup file. This isn't quite the same method as a WAR installation, but I've gone through to verify Tomcat8 is running with UTF-8.
I thought it could have something to do with the SMB mountpoint my music is housed in, but Emby sees the music fine (Subsonic is SO much better for music... except on the Roku interface
).So, at this point, I'm at a loss for debugging.
Now, for the tldr basic information required:
Problem Description: Special Characters [e.g. accent characters] are showing as �� [one special character shows as two question-mark chars] and the file tries to express itself as a subfolder in Subsonic.
Troubleshooting Steps: Tried moving the files to local filesystem, no luck. Renaming without special character works, but is annoying with auto-rip / auto-tag having to be intervened with these random incidents.
