Problem with files with names with foreign characters

[fgomes]

Hi

I've installed yesterday the last version of GBPVR after more than 1 year without using my mediaMVP. The server PC was also a clean install, with .NET 2.0 and Haupauge mediaMVP software installed but services disabled.
Everything went much more stable than 1 year ago, I was able to view divx files on my tv, I was amazed with the progress, 1 year ago even for mpeg files the mediaMVP was always reconecting to the server. And also web radios working without any reconnection, for hours! But still have one problem :-(
When I try to play MP3 files it reconnects to the server. After looking to the logs in the server, I found this is related with mp3 files that have foreign characters in the name (not ASCII 0-127). It seems that the 'translation' between GBPVR and the request from mediaMVP has some problem with foreign characters. Is there any setting that can be changed to support this characters? I am portuguese, so I have lots of files with these kind of characters ;-)
Thenks for your help!

Best regards

Fernando

The could of users that have had this type of problem in the past have found they had short filename support disabled in Windows. I'm not sure exactly where you disable/enable this, but hopefully it'll give you a starting point for your search.
