Hello. While I use iso-8859-1 in my systems, my friend uses utf-8.
Actually, not just your friend but most people in the world. I would suggest you consider converting your systems to utf-8.
This is actually no big issue when using rsync (as it can convert filenames on the fly), but now I wanted to use KODI on my FireTV stick. KODI appears to use only UTF8 when using its built-in nfs-client, or it has a bug and ignores the configured character set.
Anyway, Kodi does not show German Umlauts therefore.
Can I configure the kernel-nfs on my server to do something similar to rsync by using "--iconv=iso-8859-1,utf-8"? So my server-side encoding is translated to UTF8 only for this FireTV stick?
You could create a new directory to serve your media to kodi. Only use a utf-8 environment when creating entries in it. Fill it with hard links to your existing media files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
