The problem with int. characters is an OS specific problem and as you haven't told us what you are running SS on we cannot really help.
If you do a search of the forum you will find a number of posts that deal with this issue.
There is no problem with SS [4.6] regarding International (utf8) characters using windows (well not on my setup )

[Maor_T]

sorry , i'm using Windows 7
thanks

Ok can you explain what you mean by non-latin characters
I assumed that you meant characters with accents éïóâ etc

[Maor_T]

yes - Hebrew

[BKKKPewsey]

Post some of the characters on the board (which is using utf8) and I will test.
Do they display correctly via windows explorer?

[Maor_T]

ok, this is character example
אבגדה
in wibdows explorer its ok

[BKKKPewsey]

Code: Select all

אבגדה

Using those characters as a template I renamed an mp3 with that name, in a directory with that name and also changed the IDtag title and artist fields to suit.
SS displayed the track (and folder) and played the track np
However it really messed up my lastfm scrobble

ok..so something is weird in my pc, do yo have any idea what to do ?
you said something about int. characters, what it is?

thank you

Hi , i also tried to install Subsonic 4.6 beta 2 on different PC and the problem with hebrew folders still happen

if i'm browsing from my android device to the hebrew folders it's ok , but when i load playlist its showen as empty

the problem is only with playlists with hebrew files

[BKKKPewsey]

Update SS to 4.6 final
There was a problem with m3u playlists and utf characters in earlier versions.
If that doesn't work try saving playlists in xspf format which I know worked ok with international characters.

[Maor_T]

this was my fist version that i noticed about the issue...but V4.2 is ok , something in 4.2 fix that

how do i create xspf playlists ?

[BKKKPewsey]

Save playlist - select xspf in drop down box.

[Maor_T]

i don't have this option in winamp or mediamonkey (the palyers that i'm using)

what is your player ?

[BKKKPewsey]

You omitted to say that you are using an external player
Those instructions are for using the standard web player.
However both MM and Winamp play m3u files np with Int. characters providing you use external with playlist.
(I have problems getting the external player (no playlist) to work at all )
