I strongly suggest you convert your system and files encoding as well as the id3 tags to UTF-8 or UTF-16. Not only is ISO oldfashioned and pretty obsolete, but there is currently a bug in the sound engine Phonon that prevents non-UTF characters to be read correctly. See also bug 198008 To convert the system please see man locale, and easytag allows to convert all id3 tags quite easily. Well, so it's not an Amarok bug and I've made a duplicate? However I thank you for the information. I'll convert my files. Yes, this is most likely a bug in Phonon. If converting everything to UTF helps, this is indeed a duplicate. Please report back if that helped. Any news on this? Yes. After converting filenames in UTF8 with convmv it works. I don't know anything about tags, maybe they're already in UTF8, since they are visualized correctly by Amarok. Which Phonon backend do you use? I'm using Xine. Thank you for the feedback. *** Bug 247872 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Please post the output of export PHONON_XINE_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_DEBUG=5 amarok --debug when trying to play an affected file.

debug output
output from running amarok with this command line:

Since Per is apparently not using xine, let's revise this a bit export PHONON_PULSEAUDIO_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_VLC_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_GST_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_XINE_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_DEBUG=5 amarok --debug Created attachment 55080 [details]

(In reply to comment #13) > Since Per is apparently not using xine, let's revise this a bit Shouldn't his be treated in a separate bug then? This one is clearly about the xine backend. Else it becomes impossible to track I fear. *** Bug 261469 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #9) > *** Bug 247872 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** why do you think so? this one seems to be about non-utf-8 chars in file name. Bug 247872 looks like a not properly encoded usage of "%" in uri? We are sorry, but the xine backend is unmaintained: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-announce&m=130744384419151 Please use the phonon-backend-gstreamer or thre phonon-backend-vlc instead. |
