OK - so that was the clue I needed. 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. Hope this helps someone! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bstrulo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15997 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
