Hi all, I have installed mpd on a FreeBSD 7.2 pc, in which the local encoding is ISO-8859-1. Directories and filenames for my Music directories display fine, i.e. with correct foreign characters, on xterm. For instance, using "ls" on an album directory gives:
01 - Creuza de Mä.mp3 02 - Prinçesa.mp3 03 - Khorakhané.mp3 etc.... I edited the ~/.mpdconf file to specify: filesystem_charset "ISO-8859-1" However, when I create the database (mpd --create-db) and inspect it (~/.mpd/database), I find, for instance: ... key: 01 - Creuza de Mä.mp3 ... key: 02 - Prinçesa.mp3 ... key: 03 - Khorakhané.mp3 ... etc. from which it is clear that mpd did not recognized the input encoding correctly or, alternatively, it decided anyway to show it as if it was UTF-8 (and indeed, the above garbled text is the same that I obtain with the unix conversion command: ls | iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 What gives? Is there anything that I am glaringly missing?? thank you in advance for any clarification and for developing such a great software giuseppe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
