mpd and python-mpd problem utf8

Hi,

i've just update the new mpd and python mpd package, so there is a problem with utf8 directory. Now it can not display my covers.
The error :

Exception in thread Thread-28:

Re: mpd and python-mpd problem utf8

I'm having the same output whenever I try to view an artists's albums in the collection and the album title contains non strictly ascii characters (which happens pretty often, as I am not a native english speaker). The problem is that the albums do not appear in the collection ! I can still access them by the filesystem view, but then the songs are sorted alphabetically, not by track number.
This problem appeared with Sonata 1.5.

It is the same behaviour, so i downgrade my sonata to retrieve my covers. hope this will be fixed soon.

It will not be fixed soon if you don't report the bug to the bugtracker so that devs know that something is wrong...

Re: mpd and python-mpd problem utf8

Seems the 1.5.1 version released 48h ago corrects that bug and others.

See here : https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/sona … 08-May.txt

The Arch package has been flagged out of date so you can expect an upgrade soon...
