Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
When trying to open symbolic links pointing to MP3 files, Rhythmbox fails to
open or import them to the media library with "Couldn't access <file:///...>:
Error stating '/...': No such file or directory.
Checking debug logs, the filenames are indeed encoded in UTF-8 and
G_FILENAME_ENCODING='@locale' did not solve the issue.
Additionally, the problem only occurs if both the name of the symbolic link and
its target contain non-ASCII Unicode characters. If only one of those contains
them, it works as expected.
Also, I have symbolic links to directories where both the link and its target
contain non-ASCII characters and the files contained in them (also with
non-ASCII characters) are played fine.
