Hi,

I'm missing plenty of music since I upgraded to SlimServer 6. 

I have been running diverse versions up to 5.4.1 which was stable and fine. On 
the last weekend I changed to 6.03 then the nightly of 6.0, the nightly of 6.1 
and today to the latest nightly. 

None of the version 6 servers shows files or directories containing accented 
characters like the è in Bohème or umlauts like in Ärger. Directories 
containing only such a file / directory are shown empty.

To avoid misunderstandings, the names do not show up in the browser, nor are 
they found as result of a rescan (with or without wiping). The whole lot of 
directories and files has been in use for some time without any problems with 
5.4.1.

I changed the LC_CTYPE from the default [EMAIL PROTECTED] to UTF-8 and 
iso-8859-1. (I created the test directories and file directly on the linux 
prompt to avoid any misunderstanding regarding e.g. Samba etc.; I also included 
a numbered dummy file to avoid any influence of the browser cache.) None 
helped. Is the database (as I learned UTF-8 encoded) limited to names with 8 
bit characters? The tags containing upper characters are  fine. 

I'm very willing to do some test with debugging, which flag will show any 
relevant data? Where do I find the log-file? 

But I fear strongly from what I've found in the forum: It's not a bug, it's a 
feature. 

In the past with older versions there were similar problems, but they were 
erased with time.

Best regards

Wolfgang

Setup:
