Re: [slim] Playlist with Chinese filenames?
OK this is interesting (to me). I can create a Chinese playlist using the PlaylistManager plugin with no problem, but like you if I create one in Foobar LMS thinks it's empty all or most of the time. Turns out this is not a language thing. I looked at the files in an html/text editor, and found the PlaylistManager version contains 'Extended M3U' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U#Extended_M3U) directives like #CURTRACK 1, #EXTM3U, and #EXTURL. The foobar-created playlists just list the files. As you know we do need to export to m3u8 and not m3u to get the Chinese characters out of foobar, but in LMS we also need those directives. If you can find a plugin to add Extended M3U to foobar playlist exports, that should fix the problem for m3u8 files. I bet there's a thread on this here somewhere. If not, there's always the slow way with PlaylistManager.

Re: [slim] Playlist with Chinese filenames?
Bumping this again. I just stumbled on this issue while I tried exporting a playlist as m3u8 from Foobar.

Re: [slim] Playlist with Chinese filenames?
Bump. Does SC support playlist with filenames containing east asian languages? On a related problem, on the Touch with r9009 firmware, if I navigate to a song with chinese name and press play, it will show an empty playlist. If I press 'play' on the folder, it works. -- wildgoose wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75888 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Playlist with Chinese filenames?
I am having some trouble getting playlist to work on files with Chinese names. I am using foobar2000 to create the m3u playlist, which is basically a text file that lists the individual files. This works fine for standard English files, but it doesn't work for Chinese files. Squeezecenter found the playlist, but the content is empty. I open the m3u files in a text editor, and I see the complete filename in Chinese, so the text file is written properly by foobar2000, but the file is not read correctly by squeezecenter? I tried .m3u8 files in foobar200 too, same result. I am running 7.4.2 on a XP box. Chinese is working correctly on my squeezebox v3, I can see the Chinese song name, as well as the Chinese song info. Just the playlist feature is not working. (playlist feature works for playlist that have only English filenames) How many different playlist format does squeezecenter support? Is there a better format I should be using for Chinese songs? -- wildgoose wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75888 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
