hi. i'm using 9.11~beta1-karmic2 from PPA's. (built Nov 23 2009)
i have ext3 filesystem with files with names in cyrrillic (cp1251).
XBMC ignores these characters (giving lots of StdString: Assertion Failed on line 876), and shows empty names (or just the numbers and punctuation). i guess it would be similar with other non-ascii languages/encodings.

Is that something that might get fixed, or the only way is to convert all file-names into utf?
i've tried to tweak the few charset settings available, but to no avail.

from the looks of it our code assumes utf8.

then... is there some way to make the titles to appear different from the filename? e.g. some folder.txt or something like the folder.jpg? so i can keep the actual filenames as is but still have screen-visible naming as i like it
