MinimServer failing to read special characters in m3u playlist files
Problem in subject, but to clarify:
I have playlists created using AudioStation on Synology DS214play (latest version DSM5.1). According to notepad++ the associated m3u files are UTF-8 encoded. Trouble I'm having is MinimServer fails to load any tracks in the playlists whose folder or filename contains special characters (such as ¿, Ø etc.).

I have a feeling this is an encoding issue as I have had to convert my exported iTunes m3us into ANSI for Asset UPnP to read correctly. Obviously I can't do that with these as that would probably make them unreadable by Synology AudioStation and MediaServer.

Is there a workaround or something Simon could look into?

Cheers!

Attached File(s)
