I conducted some tests regarding my problem with non-ASCII characters in
filenames. The following is a list of three filenames which DynamicMix
fails to play. The first variant is the encoding DynamicMix creates,
the second is obtained from a playlist saved from LMS. Copying and
pasting the second variant into the "Tune in URL" function of LMS web
UI works as expected and plays the song.


Code:

Sugarcube shows the same behaviour on my system, it will only queue and
play files with pure ASCII names. Logitech's MusicIP plugin in contrast
has no problems with filenames whatsoever and will happily queue and
play them all. This is on a Qnap Linux NAS with LMS 7.7.1 and MusicIP
Headless 1.8.0.

For now I have reverted to using pure MusicIP plugin because the
unability of DynamicMix and Sugarcube to access the considerable
non-ASCII part of my library defeats the purpose of any music discovery
feature for me. I hope the file encoding of these plugins can be fixed
though, because I like both of them for what they are. Happy to help
with any testing if I can.
