Accented folder in Exaile Library

Hi.

I recently moved to Arch from openSuSE and never looked back. It's just what I was looking for.

Anyway, my problem is the following: Exaile can't read accented folders ('Música') for example.

I have en_IE.ISO-8859-15@euro locale in /etc/rc.conf and my windows partitions are mounted with locale=iso885915@euro in fstab options.

Every other player can handle these directories, but I really love Exaile, it's simply the best music player for linux ever.

If anyone has any idea or has had this problem and know how to fix it, please say something.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Accented folder in Exaile Library

You also have these locales in /etc/locale.gen right?

Just want to double check

And when you launch exaile from the terminal, what output does it list when trying to open the folder?

Yup. I may be new but I know the works.

.
.
.
-----------------------
 run ( /usr/lib/exaile/xl/library.py @ 616):
-----------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/library.py", line 654, in run
    self.do_function(loc)
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/library.py", line 694, in do_function
    tr = read_track_from_db(db, unicode(loc, xlmisc.get_default_encoding()))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 12-16: unsupported Unicode code range
.
.
.

So, it appears that Exaile is using UTF-8 whislt I am using ISO-8859-15...

Any ideas?
