Are you *sure* the music directory name Schräg is encoded with UTF-8?** Maybe try renaming the Schräg directory to something else and back to Schräg again?
Or try creating a symbolic link, Schraeg -> Schräg, and point LMS at that? **I recently stumbled on 'this rant about Python filename support' (https://changelog.complete.org/archives/9938-the-python-unicode-mess), which I confess I havent read entirely, but which taught me something new and possibly relevant: *filenames in POSIX are defined as arrays of bytes. So the directory name "Schräg" could be encoded several ways*: five bytes in ISO-8859-1, six in UTF-8, ten in UTF-16, etc. Perhaps your Schräg folder is so old that it was named by mkdir or whatever you used to first create it in five bytes that LMS Perl build reject as invalid UTF-8, or perhaps LMS skips entirely because maybe when it comes to that initial opendir() call LMS effectively insists the directory name be encoded differently than your Schräg is, likely only accepting top level music directories whose names are encoded as utf8 bytes? It seems very plausible to me that the opendir() call might be super picky about getting the right bytes even as Perl or LMS might be clever enough to intelligently interpret different character encodings as it processes the bytes it finds with readdir(). owner of the stuff at https://tuxreborn.netlify.com/ (which used to reside at www.tux.org/~peterw/) Note: The best way to reach me is email or PM, as I don't spend much time on the forums. *Free plugins:* AllQuiet Auto Dim/AutoDisplay BlankSaver ContextMenu DenonSerial FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109496
