Description robert marshall 2013-05-28 12:34:38 UTC 
If I insert a cd where the cddb info is in non-English characters, amarok displays ?s instead of the correct UTF8 characters. If I view the cd in k3b the information is displayed correctly.
So a cd with a performer of Рейнгольд Морицевич Глиэр is displayed as lots of ?s

I decided to enter this one having seen https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320373 is there a connection?

(as a side comment - it would be good if for tracks which are read only data, eg cd data, if the characters in the view track details were selectable with the mouse - in order to paste them elsewhere! I assume that TextSelectable is turned off)

locale gives me
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


Reproducible: Always

That is very strange, I have a few Russian CDs, and those do display correctly here, my system is in UTF-8 as well. Could be this is already fixed in the upcoming 2.8
Comment 2 Myriam Schweingruber 2013-05-28 13:37:43 UTC 
Even stranger: I definitely have one Russian CD that only shows ???? for the artist name. The whole encoding of that CD is strange, though, as the tracks are in latin characters.
Comment 3 robert marshall 2013-05-28 13:59:52 UTC 
In my example the tracks are also latin, I assumed it was pulled off cddb
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2014-08-12 10:11:07 UTC 
I right now have no testing means here, how is the status of this bug with current git?
Comment 5 robert marshall 2014-08-12 16:00:52 UTC 
I'm still seeing the issue with that cd (Rheinhold Gliere is I assume the performer) for a build of 23rd July - I don't think there are any related fixes since then? 

I have to reboot this machine to get it to see a cd, so one test per reboot (udisk bug 1281110)!

And this looks to be a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210101 ?
Comment 7 Myriam Schweingruber 2014-08-12 16:12:04 UTC 
Indeed, it is a duplicate
