OSError reading file with äüö´` and even chinese signs #64

Closed music-fan closed 5 years ago

music-fan commented 5 years ago

Hi I'm trying to use TagLib/pytaglib but I'm stuck with my mp3 and flac filenames. They have all sort of encoding including `´äü and even chinese. Unfortunately, 5% of my music library files can not be read with TagLib (song.tag[...] returns OSError "can not read file"). Can you help a newbie? I can read my files with Mp3Tag, Kodi, raspberry/osmc(Debian kind) and Windows 10. My Python 3.7 is running on my windows 10 PC. thank you in advance Georg

So far I did not run into problems with filename encondings, even on windows. Could you send me one of the failing files so I can test it by myself?

they are tagged with MusicBrainz/Picard and files named according song title.

I just now saw, that I'm not "Replace non-ASCII characters" for file names in Picard; I will do in the future.

Hi, The replacing of diacritics in MusicBrainz/Picard is at least for German Umlaute not satisfying (e.g., ä -> a and not ae).

But I solved my problem. Spyder setting was ok (UTF-8) but my Windows was running (standard) cp1252. I checked in Anaconda Prompt and it was the same. Changing Windows (in Regions) to UTF-8, restart, et voilà, both Spyder and Anaconda are set to UTF-8 and the TagLib can read all my files and tags, even including filenames in chinese.

Thanks for posting your solution; sorry, I was to slow to investigate by myself before. :-) I'll add a note to the readme and/or think about a better detection of OS encoding.
