RE: ? in mp3 file name for playlists doesn't work
I did a bit more research and also asked if anyone had run into this on the Synology reddit.

The recommendation was to enable VFS, which was not enabled. After doing this, all the files with ? disappeared from OSX. If I went to file state and renamed the file with a ?, it would show back up, and they seem to be able to be scanned with minim watch.

I suppose I can go through and fix this manually, but is this essentially the same as converting the file from NFC to NFD? Might doing this (https://geraldonit.com/2020/02/08/apple-...fd-to-nfc/) as a batch process fix it?

This character is the control code DEL and is not a printable character. When this filename is viewed, the DEL character is replaced by some other symbol such as a question mark or a square.

The other file "Oszillator" has a valid name with no special characters. I had hoped the zip file would contain the full path including the folder name Funkstörung, but it only has the filename.

Do you have any files where the filename (not the folder name) contains an accented character that is causing the file to not play from a playlist? If you do, please zip one of these files. If not, I will think about what you can do to send me the exact encoding of the folder name Funkstörung.
