#449: MythMusic can mangle extended characters
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: mythtv at hburch.com | Owner: ijr
Type: patch | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: mythmusic | Version:
Severity: high | -------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
My music collection includes works by Frédéric Chopin as well as the
musical Les Misérables. The file names include the accented e
(é). When I tried to play these works, I got "Unable to open file.
Error 5".
Investigating found that the filenames had been mangled in MySQL. Fixing
the database entries did not make it work. Thus, there are really two
problems: filenames can be mangled before going into the database and
filenames are mangled upon query.
To fix this, I changed all of the filename conversions to use ASCII
instead of Unicode. This fixed my problem, but I have not extensively
tested it to determine whether it causes other problems. Will attach
patch.
