RE: FLAC Files with the ">" Character in File Name Won't Play
Hi Simon, and belated happy New Year. I am greatly enjoying MinimServer 2. Unfortunately, in my system, an issue that you resolved in MinimServer 0.8 appears to have crept back in, namely a problem with FLAC files containing a "right-pointing double angle quotation mark" a/k/a Unicode character '».'

This time around, instead of not playing (see my posts in this thread, above), these files are simply not showing up in MinimServer 2 folder view or album view. for instance, CD11 of the Grateful Dead's 11-CD box set, May 1977: Get Shown the Light contains seven tracks. I ripped all seven tracks in order, and tracks #s 01 to 05 contain the Unicode character in question (please see the attached screenshot of the macOS Finder view of the CD11 folder on the external hard drive where the backup of the CD rip is stored). However, when I use MinimServer folder view via Linn Kazoo for macOS, only tracks #s 06 and 07 are displayed (please see the attached screenshot). Likewise, these same two files are the only ones displayed when I use Auralic Lightning DS for iPad.

In short, the first five numbered files are 'invisible' in MinimServer 2, and therefore unplayable.

I am not sure when this issue arose in MinimServer 2. I am on the latest version for Melco (v2.0.16, Update 180). I could rename all my files containing the Unicode character, but there are a lot of these files, and I am hoping you can work your magic once again. Thanks in advance, and please let me know if you would like additional info/screenshots.

       

Melco HA-N1ZH60 Mk1 (MinimServer 2.2) → USB → Luxman D-07X Black Edition Centennial SACD Player/DAC → XLR → Mark Levinson No. 523 → RCA → JL Audio E-Sub e110 (active crossover @ 100 Hz) → RCA → Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) → Magnepan .7
