Ok strange bug, but I can reproduce it.
- Export a playlist from your favourite MP3 player software like Winamp, containing umlauts.
- Play that playlist in MP
- now when MP trys to play the item with the umlaut, the GUI crashes

MP is still functional, but the GUI isnt updated anymore. Excerpt from the log:

Again as asked in here
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mymusic_bass_player_doesnt_play_songs_special-t28278.html?t=28278
is there any way to make a playlist at all containing umlauts?

 

[Wintermute42]

Ok, as noone seems to have such problems and/or a solution, I'll talk to myself in here .
I found out that the exception only occurs with UTF-8 playlists. In non UTF-8 lists, mp just skips the track (and the following one like described in https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mymusic_bass_player_doesnt_play_songs_special-t28278.html ). Strange thing is, that if I create a playlist within mp itsself, its doing fine, but when I open that in an editor I have destroyed umlauts in these too.

 

[JulianBuss]

I encountered the same problem today: exported a M3U-playlist from MediaMonkey and tracks with umlauts are leading to GUI misbehaviour. Quite unfortunate.

 

[hwahrmann]

Sorry, just recognised this thread now.
You were right, with the asumptions that it worked only with UTF-8 encoding.

It was the way, we were reading the file.
Now it'll also read ANSI files correctly. so noth ANSI and UTF-8 will work.

Fix is in next public svn build

thx for the news!
