Hi,

Although previous releases of SqueezeCenter already announced a
resolution for this issue I am still struggling with getting special
characters in file and directory names working with the iTunes
integration of SqueezeCenter.

I am using iTunes on Windows Vista 64 and am copying the iTunes files
to a Windows share of my Linux-based Synology DS-408 NAS, which runs the
SqueezeCenter 7.3.3 package from Synology. I changed the
SqueezeCenter.sh start file manually to add the parameter "--charset
utf8" after which the SqueezeCenter information page shows UTF8 as
operating system encoding.

The file names arrive fine on the NAS, all tools display them
correctly. Also with the normal scan function of SqueezeCenter all files
are recognized correctly. However, when I use iTunes integration
instead, all files with special characters like German umlauts in the
file or directory name are being omitted. In the log file I see the
following error for each file (after switching on debug output):

[09-09-10 22:56:17.1932] Slim::Plugin::iTunes::Importer::handleTrack
(335) File not found: /F:/Music/iTunes/Herbert Grönemeyer/live/16
Marie.mp3

I would appreciate any hints on how I could approach this issue. 

Actually I would already greatly appreciate anybody telling me that she
or he as the same issue. Would make me feel less lonely and desperate
about this. ;-)

Thanks and regards, Robert
