flac files with vorbis comments: umlauts (äöü...) interpreted incorrect

[ChristianS99]

Bug Report

Some files with umlauts in vorbis comments are shown correctly in library and sometimes not, see screenshot:

all files from example screenshot contain same byte sequence (c3 bc), which is/should be "ü", but for some it's not interpreted as utf8 as it seems.

Hi,
this is most likely not a problem of odyssey but more how your android system is reading the ID tags from your music files. I have this problem myself from time to time. And like for you it appears to be kind of random and not for all files with accents or german special letters.

I would recommend that you try to tag your media files again. For example you could IDV3.2 tags with UTF8 encoding and see if this helps.

Sorry that we can't provide more help but odyssey doesn't do any tag parsing and just reads the data from the media database that the android system stored there.
So my current assumptions would be that the information is already wrong in the media db and so there is nothing we can do.
