Small resume problem with new firmware

Sub, thanks the PCH sees long file names again, with this patch, the surprises in Coronation Street will remain a surprise.

Thanks for the fix. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea after all for sub to wait with the resume feature, since this is what Werner is saying on the NMT forum:

Code:

1.) prompt whem you start an movie where an bookmark is stored
which will ask you if you wanna resume or start from the beginning

2.) We will totaly rework the Flash which isnt an easy task at all! because an
Flash has limited write cycles, we will write bookmarks,
subtitlesettings,.................... into flash

When they've finished deciding how to implement this, Martin probably has something better to offer us (i hope )

It seems the patch causes problems with "special" characters in the filename, like swedish characters åäö. File won't play and gbpvr on the PCH goes haywire and must be exited...

Yes, I've mentioned to sub a few times there is a problem with extended ascii and there is the tradeoff with losing shortnames, here's an example:

However if you ever delve into this there is a huge compatibility problem with UTF-8 vs the ISO 8859-1 standards and some people even continue use the old DOS code pages and I think forcing file names to UTF will cause a problem on its own.

The problem is that with the patch it doesn't matter if you set <MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT>true</MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT>
, the file still won't play if the filename contains extended ascii.

I see the same thing.
