Hello !
I am setting up an ATV for a friend, ATV will act both as a HTPC with XBMC and as a NAS using Samba as per http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Enable_SAMBA_server
Eveything is working fine except for some problems with international characters. (Beeing a Swede we do use them quite alot..)
In XBMC all transfered files shows up with their correct characters but when the connecting to the ATV using samba from a Windows machine the characters are not displayed correctly.
For instance the file: "Så här går det till på Saltkråkan.avi"
Shows up as: "Så här går det till på Saltkråkan.avi" on the samba share.
Using a cat+tab on the file on atv gives: "Sa\314\212\ ha\314\210r\ ga\314\212r\ det\ till\ pa\314\212\ Saltkra\314\212kan.avi"
I have read (and tried) tons of info on Samba and charsets. I have tried different combos of
But I just cant get files to be displayed correctly.
I dont know if it matters but I cant seem to get info as to what locale the atv uses.
Can someone pls help ? I assume the competence should be here since XBMC can handle the files correctly :-)
