OGG and FLAC ID3-tags with special characters

January 6th, 2009
  • when using xbmc along with a linux file-server (samba 3.0.5) all my id-tags with swedish or other special characters(mp3, flac) won't display properly. the files were tagged on a windows-machine. filenames are not affected since i installed the newest samba-version. is this a known problem with xbmc or mplayer?


  • correction: id3-tags works. it is the "vorbis comments"-tags used by flac that seems to cause problems. they're supposed to utilize utf8? as i'm about to rip a lot of my music it would be nice to know if the flac-tags are going to cause me trouble later, or if this is a bug in xbmc or mplayer. i'm ripping the cds on a windows-machine (eac + flac).

    anyway; thanks for a great piece of software!
