ftp special characters not playing.

Postby feverish » 11 Aug 2016 13:51

Running an IIS ftp server to stream my Music to my VLC iOS device, works great IF it does not contain any characters like Å, Ä, Ö and Cyrillic characters. It will list them where the special characters are replaced with a "?". I have tried to change the encoding in the settings and getting the same result. An yes, I have restarted the App. The ftp server have UTF8 activated and works fine with all other ftp clients out there.

I can confirm that bug.
Although it changed, that "?" are shown as random strange characters, if character set is set to UTF-8 in settings.

Has there been any attempt to fix it, or is it worth entering in trac?
