Version: 2.1.1 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-0.slh.3-sidux-amd64 Hello, Amarok does not display correctly Greek character. In my system I use UTF-8. In my.cnf I have not define utf character set (it should use system wide UTF-8) (* see below) Now the strange thing: If I use in EasyTag Charset western (ISO-8859-1) and write the tags from file name then they are displayed in Amarok. If I modify something (i.e the singer name) then it does not show it in Amarok. If I use UTF it shows ?????? If I change the mysql character set ti UTF (* see above) then my old UTF tags are displayed as +-y+- etc. Strange characters. This problem started with the latest stable version. When i used the last SVN there was no problem at all. Is something that I can do about it??? It is serious because there are more than 50000 tracks. Thank you snvv

Alexey: No, it is not a duplicate, read the description of the bug correctly.
This should be solved by now in 2.2-SVN. Jeff, any news on this?
This is one of three problems. Either it's related to the character set encoding in the DB, which should be fixed by upgrading to 2.2-SVN and doing a full rescan; or it's because this is one of the users that for some reason has InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM tables; or this is an issue with the charset detector, in which case Peter should have a look at it.
This has been fixed by my commit during the akademy.
