I installed latest server 7.9.2 from 10/19/18 on a new Mac running
10.13.6. I repeatedly was hitting the fatal error:
[18-11-02 22:06:24.5305] main::main (331) Error: Failed when running
main scan: [Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Text.pm
line 163.
This occurred even after I requested a scan starting from scratch. I
tried multiple changes to Text.pm and what finally succeeded was the
following change a few lines above
if (!$caseArticlesCache{$key}) {
#use locale;
use utf8;
i.e, changing from 'use locale' to 'use utf8'. My perl fu is not strong
nor my utf-8-fu, but this does sort of make sense to me.
Anyway, thought I'd share in case it was useful to others.
