French accented letters

Post by sokl1 »

Dear support,
We have some problem in libraries due to accented letters in metadata. Sometimes it works well (é, à, ç, Ê, É, ä), sometimes it fails to display either in tables or in tag editor (but not always both, tag editor is less subject to the problem).
Can you please check the origin of the problem? Many thanks in advance.

Wasn't it you who created the .pfmd files manually?
However, the pfmd file in UTF-8 looks good. The issue is (might be), that tag data within WAV files (RIFF INFO chink) are by default only written in Latin1 codepage (according to the specs) resp. uses the OS local default code page. Thus it depends a bit on the local settings.
Here it actually works fine as you can see:

I suggest to take a look to the options (general settings, Tagging resp. Meta Data/WaveForm and take a look to the 'Use UTF-8 for Riff Info (.wav)' option.

However, you did not send the related .wav file - so I cannot test that here.

Yes, that's me ;-)
The problems appears already in Meta Data Editor at the moment where there are no metadata in the WAVE file. It seems that some metadata are still present after the files have been converted through ffmpeg. I just see now that if I Force Metadata reading in settings, it works well with the pfmd files.
Thank you
