Hmmm, I did not noticed, until I saw this thread, that this accented character issue with MusicIP was back. I guess it came back with 7.5 as it was working fine for me with previous releases of SBS. My library has tons of World music and I have used accented characters in the tags, path, and files names. I'm not about to rename them as I feel that it takes away an aesthetic aspect of my library.
I have not been using the "M" in the Web UI to generate MusicIP frequently enough to notice that it was not picking up accented characters. I have been using SpiceFly SugarCube and this plugin uses MusicIP to create its dynamic playlists. As far as I can tell, SugarCube has no issues retrieving tracks from MusicIP that have accented characters. I guess there is something that SugarCube is doing to handle these MusicIP exceptions. I can use a seed track with foreign characters in its path, file name, and tag and SugarCube retrieves the next track. It even retrieves next tracks with accented characters in them. "Maybe"... just maybe... some method could be added to the MusicIP plugin or SBS so that it can retrieve the MusicIP generated tracks in a similar way that SugarCube does. Having to rename all my existing files and having to edit tracks that are automatically named "correctly" as I rip them with dBpowerAMP is not an option for me. I also want to maintain the integrity (The correct names of Artists, Albums and Tracks) of my library as I don't use it exclusively with SBS and in the future a better player/mixer might come up that has no issues with these characters. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78059 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
