Problems with Amarok and accents in filenames [SOLVED]

Hello,

First of all sorry for my bad english.

I have just installed Arch with KDE4.

I have my music collection in a NTFS partition, and I have managed to have Dolphin show accents correctly by installing ntfs-3g.

All software I have tested is able to open files which contain accents in its filename from the NTFS partition without problem except amarok. For example, VLC can play any mp3 without problems, but amarok is unable to play all files which contain an accent or files whose parent directory contains an accent, despite the fact that it adds the files correctly to the collection.

Is someone experiencing the same problem or know a solution?

(SOLUTION)

I managed to solve it changing the system locale to UTF8. It caused a mess of filenames with some of my documents but I managed to restore them from a backup.

Thanks
