Description Darek 2010-04-26 20:58:46 UTC
To rip cds I use media-sound/rip with parameters -TSFce -f "%N_%S" -d /dev/hda. 
I have several records with Polish and German titles. I'd like to have national characters like żółć or ü.
I have system configured to use UTF-8 code page.
After ripping when I look inside flac file I can find UTF-8 sequence with national characters. But when file is imported to mediatomb DB those characters are treated as separate 8 bits characters. (like 's³odka' against 'słodka' or 'ê' against 'ę')

In ogg files (ripped with rip too) UTF-8 characters are recognized correctly.

If this is really a bug in mediatomb, not something else. (Not that I doubt you!) There is not much I can do, my advice is to take the issue upstream.

MediaTomb uses UTF-8 internally so everything that gets imported (tags, file names etc..) will be converted to UTF-8. Since your system is configured to use UTF-8, it would seem the problem lies with MediaTomb which means there is little we can do.

I suggest you search the MediaTomb SourceForge forum for answers since there are many posts about code page issues. If that doesn't help then post a new message as there is a very good chance that it will be answered by a MediaTomb dev.
