Music playlist and ISO8859-1 / UTF8 format

Hi,

 

I noticed this evening that music files containing special characters (é, è, ù, ç...) are not recognized when included within m3u playlists.

 

For instance, a playlists containing:

#EXTM3U
E:\Laurent\Musique\Music\FLAC\Jean Michel Jarre\Jean Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 1).flac
E:\Laurent\Musique\Music\FLAC\Jean Michel Jarre\Jean Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 2).flac
E:\Laurent\Musique\Music\FLAC\Jean Michel Jarre\Jean Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 3).flac

 

appears to be empty in the browser.

 

When adding manually these files to the playlist from the browser, the resulting m3u file looks like:

 

#EXTM3U
#EXTALB:Les Chants Magnétiques
#EXTART:Jean Michel Jarre
#EXTINF:1078,Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 1)
..\..\Music\FLAC\Jean Michel Jarre\Jean Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 1).flac
#EXTALB:Les Chants Magnétiques
#EXTART:Jean Michel Jarre
#EXTINF:238,Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 2)
..\..\Music\FLAC\Jean Michel Jarre\Jean Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques (Part 2).flac

 

It seems that ISO 8859-1 encoded playlists m3u are not well recognized and that UTF-8 encoded playlists m3u work well.

 

Is this the normal behavior ?

 

Regards.

 

Laurent.
