mpeg files with non-english names cannot be played

cpp2005 · 2007-04-08, 22:24

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.0 (checked with svn 13434)
MediaPortal Skin: blue two
Windows Version: XP sp2

How to reproduce:
take any mpeg file with non-english name in language that is NOT selected in regional options as language for non-unicode programs; file name is properly shown in gui, but cannot be played (nothing happens).
Logs are attached - the problem seems to be with tsfilesource filter not supporting unicode.

Anybody else having this bug?
I'm using gbpvr for tv recording, with multi-language epg guide, so recorded programs automatically have names according to the guide in different languages.

I posted a patch for TSFileSource in TSFileSource forum, here.
I hope they will use it; anyway attached a binary of TSFileSource filter that supports unicode file names.

Well I found just in case that tsfilesource sources were added to mediaportal svn and my patch was applied to it. I think I should have been notified, but good to know
