I'm using SC7 on a Linux platform and having trouble with foreign
characters, both in filenames and in ID3 tags.

It will not read and index MP3 ID3 tags if there are accented
characters in them, nor will it display them if I browse from Music
Folder.

It will try to populate that information (artist, album, etc.) from the
pathname (incorrectly, because I don't use the required directory
structure), but it truncates at the position of the first accented
character.

I briefly thought I was on to something because errors appeared in the
server log complaining about line 873 in Info.pm, where it detects
encoding, but hard-coding it to 'iso-8859-1' made the error go away
without solving the problem.

I'm hoping someone can tell me whether this is a bug in SC, or if there
is some system configuration I need to change.  I'll provide more
information if requested.

Here's the basics of my config:

SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 17314 - Red Hat - EN - utf8
Perl Version: 5.8.8 x86_64-linux
MySQL Version: 5.0.45
Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux

OS: Mandriva Free 2007, kernel 2.6.17-10mdv

I'd really like to get this working.  My 3.5-year old SB1 mainly
functions as an expensive clock, but I'd like to buy a new SB3 to
replace my Audiotron... if I can get all the kinks worked out.
