#24 Some MP3 files don't show on the file list
If the filename contains some foreign characters (I'm from Portugal, we use some special characters in our language) the file doesn't show in the list, so it cannot be played. I've made some tests and noticed that for example if the filename contains the characters 'á' or 'é' that file doesn't appear on the list. If the file contains 'ã' or 'õ' it appears on the list but with incorrect characters. I've also verified that the filenames are encoded using utf8.
Forgot to mention that this happens with the A8 version
Just fine tuned my test: The characters in the filenames that make the files not appearing on the list are:
ç
é
è
â
ê
ô
Any file that contains these characters don't appear on the list. Using the console, if I ls a directory with files with these characters I get the following result:
/net/MEDIA-SERVER/music/aaa> ls
ls: ./o:x93.mp3: No such file or directory (for a file named oô.mp3)
ls: ./b:x82.mp3: No such file or directory (for a file named bé.mp3)
ls: ./c:x87.mp3: No such file or directory (for a file named cç.mp3)
ls: ./e:x88.mp3: No such file or directory (for a file named eê.mp3)
ls: ./a:x83.mp3: No such file or directory (for a file named aâ.mp3)
02 - Oito Anos.mp3 bá.mp3 empty~
0õ.mp3 bí.mp3 test.mp3
Baião.mp3 bó.mp3 test_0.00_0.30.mp3
a.mp3 bú.mp3 x.mp3
aã.mp3 empty
/net/MEDIA-SERVER/music/aaa>
Other files like bá.mp3 (and others you can see in the results above) appear ok using ls on the console, but appear with wrong characters on the TV user interface. But the major problem for me is not having some strange characters, is loosing a significant part of my files, because they disappear from the list. Is UTF8 supported on the OS build? and on the GUI 'file browser'?
