This registry key is only available for the start mode 'Automatically run at system start'. Which is the recommended way IMHO, because you don't need to login to have LMS running. You can configure this in LMS Control Panel, but you must start it as Administrator (there's a menu in the LMS tray icon for that). If you want to keep your way of starting LMS and if it's configured to start automatically when you login, then do this: - open a file explorer window and type shell:startup in the address bar and press enter. - there should be an entry for LMS. Right-click on it and open the Properties dialog. In the highlighted text field for the executable scroll to the end and add a blank and then the --charset=utf8 string. (If you're starting LMS manually then you could do the same with the LMS symbol you're using to start LMS.) reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111436 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

This thread describes what seems to be the same problem as I have: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?106886-All-music-files-with-Chinese-and-Japanese-names-missing-after-scan/page2 This lists two possible workarounds: The first and probably most sensible is to enable "8dot3name" for the volume. You can do that using the "fsutil" command and it probably makes sense for most people. I haven't tried it but that thread strongly suggests that will work. More interesting to me, however, was the option to set the Windows locale to UTF-8. This is an experimental feature in Windows 10 since 1803 and although it was originally quite buggy, it seems to be getting better. So I'm giving that a try. For anyone else who wants to go down this route, these are the steps: - *Change your Logitech Media Server service to start with the UTF-8 charset*. To do this, start "regedit" and navigate to this key Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\squeezesvc\IMAGEPATH and append " --charset=utf8" to the value. You need a space before the hyphens, of course. - *Change Windows to the UTF-8 locale*. To do this go to the Control Panel > "Change date, time or number formats" > Administrative tab and then the "Change system locale ..." button. In there you check the "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" box and press OK. - *Cross your fingers and reboot*. Bear in mind that this does carry some risk of interfering with the operation of other older programs you might be running.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS not seeing files with non-Latin characters in the filename (Windows)
I'm running the same LMS version on Win 10 and I have a quite a few of such files and they work flawlessly, like Code: 22 - Bani Adam ( ).flac 02 - Zblia si nowe.flac 02 - Þú Ert Jörðin.flac I vaguely remember there was an issue with Browse Music Folder with such folder names but this is fine now. What are your LMS charset settings? See Settings->Information: Operating system. I used the default charset of cp1252 which used to work fine, but changed to utf8 some time ago. Don't remember why (maybe string sorting issues). And I'm not sure if the '?' in the log message is really unexpected, because I think this is just the console output which uses a different charset. reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111436 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
