Samba Character Set

[QuantumSchema]

Hi All!

First off, I'm loving RuneAudio! I came from the "other" distro (Volumio) and have to say I wish I would have discovered this sooner. Its faster, more reliable, etc. etc. Keep up the great work!

On to the little issue... I'm having what I think is a samba character set problem. I have a 2TB external USB HDD plugged in (externally powered) that houses all my music. I access it via samba to upload new music. I now have an issue with "odd" named files, ones using foreign letters. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like from a Windows box connected via samba and what the same file looks like from the console of the Rune device. Its fine locally on the file system, its just getting messed up when presented via samba. I've gone through and changed and regenerated the locales and I've modified the samba config to use UTF-8. I haven't been able to get it to show up normally yet. I can say that it showed up fine in Volumio but this could be a Linux distro thing (Raspian vs Arch). Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone!

How did you manage to enable Samba? I can't get it to work.

Sorry for topic stealling, and thanks for your answer.

Thank you! It was problem with my Windows, not RuneAudio. I was expecting to see the device in Network but it won't show for some reason. But when I enter \\IP-ADDRESS manually, it works.

If you can, just use NFS.
If not possible, maybe UTF-8 can be a solution.

The sysadmin at my company says CIFS/SMB shares can be a pain in that regard. You're supposed to be able to add character sets/dictionnaries to solve this.
(everything is on the server side, there's no bug in Rune, as far as I can tell).

Thanks for help. I will try with NFS.
