Special characters (Umlaute) on Terastation ok with Samba 3

Post by Karsi » Thu Aug 02, 2007 8:23 pm

To whom it may concern:

Using Noxon + Terastation (old version) all special characters using Twonky were not shown on the Noxon. (no problems with streaming from a MSS+).

By updating the terastation to firmware 2.14 and adding new libraries and installing new Samba 3.x version this problem is now solved.
(Thanks to the great support of Dave Walker and his helpful programs!)

But be careful: Please make a complete copy of your files because in my case all special characters were shown in Windows as an underscore '_' after updating. Correcting manually in Windows Explorer all underscores to special characters is one solution ....
I used a synchronizing software which I use alway to make backups to copy back all files which were changed so that in the end I got everything replaced properly.

After the rescan of Twonky all characters were shown correct - in Windows and on the Noxon.


Best regards,
Karsten
