*** Bug 189580 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Version: 4.1-svn built 4/12/09 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Amarok won't add to the collection files which include special characters in their path As soon as the special character is removed from the file name, amarok's collection indexes the file. How to reproduce: Add a file with a special character to a folder in your collection, and amarok won't index this file. *** Bug 189209 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can you please give me an example of a path that does not work? I'm trying to reproduce the problem. For testing purposes, I have renamed the following file in my collection: "The_Gathering_-_Strange_Machines.mp3" --> "The_Gathering_-_Strange_Machines_á.mp3" It was still scanned fine after the renaming. I think the issue may not really be an amarok bug. As I solved the issue by setting the locale to iso8859-1 which is the same locale I mount my ntfs HDs in (the ones with the music). If I set the locale to, say utf-8, then the console(shell) won't display the characters correctly, which is probably the why the scanner fails to index them. locales are default for ext4, and ěščřžáíé are displaying fine under, Konsole or in Dolphin I have a similar issue. Indexing works, but I just can't play the files with "special characters" in the filename. I can confirm that. Same here, I can't play the song if the folder or filename contains ä or ö for example. But it's inside my collection and shows up perfect with tags. If I change the filename to a or o, I can play it. Might be also related to #191727 *** Bug 191727 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We have now identified the root of this problem (MySQL is set to wrong encoding). See this mail for more information: http://lists.kde.org/?l=amarok&m=124225723816478&w=2 We're working on a fix for this. PS: Please note that problems with playback may be unrelated to this problem. Phonon itself has had a few encoding bugs too, which are mostly fixed in newer versions though. *** Bug 197384 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 191871 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 192448 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 197031 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 197205 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 198351 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This should be solved with current 2.2-git. Can somebody confirm this? Confirmed! This also happens in amarok 2.2 for folders containing symbols like ^&*($# in my case ###foldername can someone check this against the 2.2-git I think this Ticket should be reopened. I have following Path: Culcha Candela - Sch\303\266ne neue Welt/ |-- 01 Culcha Candela - Sch\303\266ne Neue Welt.mp3 |-- 02 Culcha Candela - Somma im Kiez.mp3 |-- 03 Culcha Candela - Monsta.mp3 |-- 04 Culcha Candela - Siento.mp3 |-- 05 Culcha Candela - Gimme Some.mp3 |-- 06 Culcha Candela - Manchmal.mp3 |-- 07 Culcha Candela - No Hay Mal.mp3 |-- 08 Culcha Candela - The Greatest.mp3 |-- 09 Culcha Candela - I Like It.mp3 |-- 10 Culcha Candela - Eiskalt.mp3 |-- 11 Culcha Candela - Relax.mp3 |-- 12 Culcha Candela - Nobody.mp3 `-- 13 Culcha Candela - Steh Auf.mp3 Only the first Song is inserted in the archive of amarok. I have checked it with convmv. This is utf-8. The File are located on an ext4 filesystem. I use amarok 2 in version 2.2.0 (Kompilierdatum: Oct 8 2009) via kubuntu-package.

I think your problem is completely different, you should upgrade to Amarok 2.2.1 or Amarok 2.2.2 final, to be released later this week. |
