Files with accented characters do not play [Fixed in Roon 1.8 (Build 806)]

[Mark_Mitchell]

This being a confirmed bug for over 6 months, I left feedback on the documented migration process that this limitation should be disclosed.

Today Roon cannot play Emilíana Torrini

@noris any update on a fix?

Determine and change filename encoding on Windows

For anyone with DIY inclinations, I’d try on a copied album or ten first.

[Mark_Mitchell]

Thanks @killdozer that’s definitely worth looking into. Will give it a try and report back.

FYI

Bye Nucleus, back to Mac Mini Core

Thanks to the logs and database of another user (who did not post on this thread), we’ve identified an issue. It may not be the only issue at play, but a preliminary fix does resolve this one user’s situation. It’s not related to codepages, but that was a good guess. It is related to unicode normalization being different on different filesystems by default, and when copies were made, the normalization of file paths was changed. We have the fix in internal testing now, and it’ll roll out in the…

[Mark_Mitchell]

Any word on when we might be able to test the preliminary fix?

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

It should be in the next build.

We don’t provide timing information for releases. Sometimes we do, and we always regret it.

As recently as yesterday, I was reminded why we don’t give any timing for releases, no matter how vague/loose they are.

[Mark_Mitchell]

Awesome. We will be excited to test the fix when the time comes!

Does it also solve this issue

After export Track names are different according to which os the core is installedd on

I want to ask about export feature. @support When you export an album , is roon file naming/tagging behaviour different between macos and windows… refarding all operation is performed on the core.
