Problem with UTF-8 in playlists (.m3u8 files)

Thanks for this. The Unicode filenames that Java returns to MinimServer when scanning your library are in composed Unicode format but the filename entries in your .m3u8 file are in decomposed Unicode format. This means the filenames appear to be same when you look at them but they don't contain the same sequence of Unicode characters. MinimServer is comparing the sequence of Unicode characters and this comparison is failing.

I recently fixed a similar problem with Unicode tag values (the fix will be in the next update) and I think I can use a similar fix to make the names in your .m3u8 file work correctly.

It would be very helpful for me to know whether the actual filenames on the disk are in composed or decomposed format. Please run the commands:

cd **any directory containing suitable files**
ls -l >~/sample.txt
gzip ~/sample.txt

and attach the resulting sample.txt.gz file to a post here.
