Hi fellows, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm writing this e-mail to ask for a test. |
4 |
Everyone who are using KDE 4 and a non-UTF8 locale please do the following steps: |
5 |
|
6 |
- Pick a .mp3 file and put in a place which the path (or the name of the file) contains an non-ascii character, like an accent. |
7 |
- Try to open it with Juk, Dragon Player or Amarok and see if it is played. |
8 |
- If not, remove the non-ascii character and try it again. |
9 |

I'm proposing this test to confirm that it is a real bug on Phonon. |
11 |
My locale is pt_BR.ISO-8859-1. I have done this test and I realized that I can't play any files by Amarok, Juk or Dragon Player that fits on that condition. |
12 |
When I switched my locale to pt_BR.UTF-8 and so the filename, the problems are gone. |
13 |
|
14 |
I won't start a discussion why I (or we) shouldn't move from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, the short answer is because I don't want due to the huge numbers of files encoded this way and for a better Windows compatibility. |

If you find this bug also, please, let me know and post at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198008 |
17 |
The goal is to change the bug status from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED, what will hopefully make the KDE devs correct it more faster, because I'm facing it since KDE 4.1.0. |
