More about Special Characters

See this thread for some information about this. As you will see from the referenced thread, I have made changes to MinimServer that fix some cases of this but there might be other cases that are still causing issues.

Dunno if this helps, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. This entry in the playlist doesn't work:

Code:

../Meshell Ndegéocello/The Spirit Music Jamia_ Dance Of The Inf/06 The Chosen.mp3
or
../Meshell Ndegéocello/The Spirit Music Jamia_ Dance Of The Inf/06 The Chosen.mp3

The second version is how Wordpad displays it, vs notepad for the first. This entry in a playlist works fine:

Code:

../Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra/Boulevard De L'Indépendance/02 Boulevard de l'Indépendance.m4a
or
../Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra/Boulevard De L'Indépendance/02 Boulevard de l'Indépendance.m4a

Both entries contain the same accented character, which is not very special, which suggests there is some other issue. I will continue looking for clues.
