I noticed none of my unicode songs don't show up on my server... how do I fix this?

check the log under the "help"/"about" tab. it should give some clues as to what exactly happened. Best post the log in here in
Code: Select all
code brackets

I can't find any errors that are related to my problem. I just have a bunch of errors saying can't find lyrics for songs.

Basically, half my library of songs are Chinese where the tags are encoded with UTF-8 format. None of these songs show up in subsonic. Is subsonic capable of parsing these file names?

Edit: After some additional findings, I notice that unicode files do show up, but show up as "?????", however folders with unicode names do not show up at all, where most of my unicode file name songs are located under.

Thanks.

jonlai9, probably this is an issue with subsonic not being set up for unicode, but it could also be a problem related to your client.
