International Characters

[FlyingSaucrDude]

So, just to recap:
Subsonic/everything is running on a linux box, and the file with the "é" in its filename is on the same linux box, on the same disk as linux/subsonic/etc.

Here's what works:
* Playing the song directly on the linux box (e.g. opening up VLC, and using it to open and play the song w/out any interaction w/subsonic)
* Playing the song directly on a Windows box (e.g. opening up VLC on the Windows box, and using it to open and play the song, which is accessed via a samba share, w/out any interaction w/subsonic)
* Playing any song with "normal" characters in its path/filename, using subsonic, on the linux box
* Playing any song with "normal" characters in its path/filename, using subsonic, on a windows box

What doesn't work:
* Playing the song w/the "é" directly on the linux box, using subsonic
* Playing the song w/the "é" on the windows box, using subsonic

So yeah...maybe it is some weird Java interaction thing...if I could get more debug info out of subsonic (or even step through its code) that would help a lot...

Same problem here.

I can't index any international characters on my Ubuntu 7.10, Tomcat 5.5, Java 1.6.0_03.

Does anyone have any idea?

Btw.: Subsonic rocks!

Problem solved with subsonic 3.3.beta1

Thanks!

Btw: I forgot to mention that the filesystem is FAT on a Truecrypt encrypted HDD

Just in case anybody else ever has similar problems, it turns out my problem was caused by how I transferred the music to my linux box. In particular, I used rsync to copy it over from a Windows system, and that somehow didn't copy the filenames in a way that linux liked.

By booting my windows box into linux, and then mounting my windows partition using ntfs-3g, I was able to scp the music over to the linux box, and now subsonic works just fine...

So it wasn't a subsonic issue, or a java issue, or a linux issue...it was a Windows issue. Figures.

Still, thanks to everyone who tried to help!

I've solved a similar problem on my system. Look here: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... =2972#2972
