I can't open video files with simple-chinese-characters filename in libvlc
My IDE is VC2010 MFC with unicode
I tried conversing it to utf-8 but failed.

Please HLEP ME! It kills me!!!

There must be a bug in your code or in your bindings. It works fine in VLC.

Yes. It works in VLC,but i don't know how to make it in my code.
i need sample code.

Chinese and Japanese filepaths' both load/play just fine for me. Try pasting what you're currently doing.

this is my origin code:

AXVLC::IVLCPlaylistPtr plo(reinterpret_cast<AXVLC::IVLCPlaylist*>(mVLC.get_playlist()), false);
CString file（"file:///c:\你好.avi"）；
plo->add(file.GetString());
plo->play();

and it can't work;

someone told me that vlc only accept utf-8 strings,so i wrote this:

CStringA str(file);
USES_CONVERSION;
wchar_t* wszString = T2W(file.GetBuffer());
int u8Len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, NULL, wszString, wcslen(wszString), NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
char* szU8 = new char[u8Len + 1];
::WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, NULL, wszString, wcslen(wszString), szU8, u8Len, NULL, NULL);
szU8[u8Len] = '\0';

AXVLC::IVLCPlaylistPtr plo(reinterpret_cast<AXVLC::IVLCPlaylist*>(mVLC.get_playlist()), false);
plo->add(szU8);
plo->play();

but still failed

"CString file（"file:///c:\你好.avi"）；"

Why the single backslash?

i tried CString file（"file:///c:/你好.avi"）；but nothing changed

can anybody help?

can you upload small .avi with "simple-chinese-characters filename" somewhere?
