german umlaute and special chars => get films into DB
#1
Hello together,

I have the following folders in my library, mounted from an ext3 NAS drive via SMB share
Code:
\TEST\FILME\2012\film.iso
\TEST\FILME\GRASGEFLÜSTER\film.iso
\TEST\FILME\TÖTET MRS. TINGLE\film.iso
\TEST\FILME\TIGER & DRAGON\film.iso
\TEST\FILME\X-MEN\film.iso
If I just browse the library, I find every film and can scrape some infos. If I switch to DB-mode, all folders with umlaute and specail chars are gone, they are not listed.
What should I do to get them listed in DB-mode as well?

Regards,

Eisbahn

Set the right charset, or alternively, a thing that always works : NEVER use space, accent or special characters in a file or folder name !

Where do I have to set the charset and which charset? The charset which is used by the ext3/smb share, the charset of the HTPC which is running XBMC, the charset of the scraper, the charset which the scraper scrapes... And what chrset is used?
Restriction of blanks, Umlaute in foldernames... results in work which needs to be done by hand. First at ripping the discs to ISOs (checking foldername and correct it by hand) and second at scraping by typing the real movie name. Thats not an option...

for me solved after checking fstab and playing a bit with SSH on the NAS. Feel free to test the result: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=75121
