Filenames / Unicode

[VorteX24]

All Files on my Filesystem are encoded in Unicode.

I didnt find an option to make kplaylist recognize that, so in the directory browser, filenames are displayed as iso.

Like:

Till Brönner

instead of
Till Brönner

Or russian Filenames
КОМП

Changing the encoding in the browser doesnt change this behaviour.
I would really like to have that issue changed, can anyone help me with this?

The good news is that this can probably be fixed in one single place quite easily. The bad news is that it's just probably.

Anyway, find this function:

Code: Select all

file_parse($f2, $link, $class, $str = FILETEMPLATE)


Under this function you should have the following line:

Code: Select all

case 'f': $add = checkchs($f2->fname); break;

Change it to:

Code: Select all

case 'f': $add = checkchs(utf8_decode($f2->fname)); break;

Of course, your PHP must support UTF8. (It's inbuilt, so it should work.)

It's my first post, so first I want to say thank your for kplaylist -- it's amazing!

I've tried adding the utf8_decode function, but I don't see any difference. I also ran the update (with refreshing ID3), but I am still getting 8859-1 misrepresentations of my UTF-8 filenames. Interestingly, the directory structure at the top is correctly showing the UTF-8 symbols, but no the filenames.

Any thoughts?

Got it. (A friend showed me how it did it, but I'll post it here for prosperity.)

I had to change the line that starts:

$klang[0] = array('English', 'ISO-8859-1'

with

$klang[0] = array('English', 'UTF-8'

Now it works great.
