International character problem

[stozher]

Thanks! Worked on Debian/GNU Linux. I include to /etc/default/subsonic

export LANG=en_US.utf8

[lambda]

I had this working at one point, but I've done a new installation of Subsonic on a little nettop running 10.04 LTS, and I can't get folders with international characters to show up, despite putting export LANG and export LC_CTYPE in all the pertinent files (/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh, /etc/init.d/subsonic, etc.) Anything else I'm forgetting?

Check existing locales with:

locale -a

I had a similar problem with Ubuntu 10.04 server and WinXP and Android clients, but adding

LC_CTYPE=$LANG
LANG=$LANG

to the beginning of /etc/init.d/subsonic after PATH, DESC, etc. and restarting Subsonic server solved it. No problem whatsoever with åäö any more.

this worked for me

Got this working - I think on LC_CTYPE maybe you need quotes? Anyway, never mind.

All my Korean and Japanese Music, the titles of which I just spent hours converting into <asian name> (English name) naming scheme....


lol... anyways, nautilus (gnome (ubuntu(linux))) sorts this stuff by putting -all asian char- names after z, and those with asian char+roman char by their first english character.

Couldn't something be implemented in subsonic? any fix, other than undoing all my hard re-naming / re-tagging?

I'm trying to get this working but I don't have /etc/init.d or /etc/default folders... help!

I use the standalone version of subsonic and had the same issue: files with unicode characters would 'show up' in subsonic, but were all ???s and would not play. My server's locale was set to "C" for some reason instead of en_US.UTF-8. I added this line to /var/subsonic/subsonic.sh:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

just before the start of the big block of ${JAVA} functions at the bottom and after the home directory is created, about line 113 on my startup script. Now I can see and play files with unicode characters in the filename

This did not solve my problem. I am running Subsonic 4.9 on a Debian system (Dreamhost Virtual Private Server). I added the line as directed, restarted the subsonic service, but tracks with unicode characters are not working.
