[PATCH] Filenames in Unicode decoding issue
Hi all, there's an issue in libdvdread, triggered by DVDs with Unicode filenames (example of such DVD is a movie Thor). Original bug report is available here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813977 There is also an enhanced Unicodedecode function on Ubuntu forum, which I consider better, than the current implementation is (see the patch attached): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11254706 Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce this issue, since I don't have such DVD, so I cannot verify if the patch fixes the issue. Cheers, Honza

Sorry to respond so late. According to the logs this issue should have been fixed in version 4.2.0 by a patch John Stebbins submitted. The link you give to the redhat bug confuses me a little bit, it seems totem works but xine didn't. Not only that but the original reporter said that the patch didn't help. I am reluctant to apply the ubuntu patch unless it can be shown that John's patch doesn't fix the issue in all cases. E -- Erik Hovland erik@hovland.org http://hovland.org/

It is possible he was trying older xine-lib with bundled libdvdread.

I asked the reporter to test again with xine-lib without bundled libdvdread and will provide the feedback. Honza

Reporter used his own xine build and said libdvdread should be fine, so let's believe John's patch fixes this. Cheers, Honza
