Problems with character accents on M2, MacOS, DCS Mosaic - can't find files

[dzampelis]

Hello,

First of all a huge thank you for the amazing server, it has provided me with countless hours of enjoyment!

The problem is that if I try to click on a song that contains Greek characters with accents, or is saved in a folder that has accents on its name, then I get an error message on my iPad app that no playitem found, and an error on the minim log: "unknown folder for search resource URI". Just to clarify, the problem has to do with the name of the files and not with the tags. If a song does not contain accents in its name and has tags with accents, it plays fine.

I have added an example here with an mp3 file containing accents on its file name and parent folders, and one not containing accents to demonstrate the problem.

Everything worked flawlessly on my old Intel Mac until I got a new M2 MacMini a few days ago. I installed the JDK20 as per instructions. Also in the minim log file at the beginning, it states that:

-----
Java runtime options: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
Platform default charset is UTF-8
System platform is macos-arm
-----

I am using MimimServer 2.2 update 240, macOS Ventura 13.3, JDK20, dCS Mosaic 1.4.1 (146) and dCS Network Bridge 1.4.1 (510).

I can mitigate the problem, by turning all the file/folder name characters into capitals and removing the accents. I have already created a script to easily do that. I would prefer though not to take such drastic action on my files if there is an easier solution that would not affect my library.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!
