Hi,

sorry to revive an old thread but i have that same issue with 7.7.1-1
and i've tried debugging it some but have no clue why it does what it
does.

My locales are configured correctly and terminal shows correct
characters for utf8 filenames etc.:

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

and e.g.

# ls Bj*
Björk - All Is Full of Love       Björk - Debut                         Björk - 
Selmasongs 
HOMOGENIC
# 

However, starting the server gives an error about locale not being set
correctly:

Your locale was detected as C, you may have problems with non-Latin
filenames.  Consider changing your LANG variable to the correct locale,
i.e. en_US.utf8

The weird thing is, the code that checks for the locale setting in
Slim/Utils/OS.pm around line 280 sth returns a value of "C" for the
CTYPE POSIX value _BUT_ the same code running the same perl module (i
checked %ISA at runtime in both cases, same version, same .pm is
called) returns the correct value:

POSIX VERSION IS 200809 at testLocale.pl line 14.
LC_TIME is de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE is de_DE.UTF-8

The question remains, why POSIX.pm returns the correct value in one
case and the "C" locale in the case of the slimserver.. I have truly no
idea, what or where the locale is overwritten(?) in the course of
loading modules/... w/i logitechmediaserver.

Any ideas/ pointers?

I'm running archlinux on armel arch with Logitech Media Server (v7.7.1,
r33735, Mon Nov 28 16:49:58 MST 2011) perl 5.014002 .

I'm willing to debug/ patch & s.o. as the issue does seem to have an
effect on scanning not running properly on my system. The scanning
process simply hangs at some files with special characters.

Thanks!
