weird PMS chinese filename problem

[think4less]

Happy New year!

Yesterday I successfully compiled pms 1.20.412 on my QNAP ts-239 using ssh through Putty. I started the program using ./PMS.sh through Putty and everything was fine. I can see and stream all files including those with chinese character file name. no problems at all.

The next step was to put the pms into autostart.sh, here is my autostart code

Code: Select all


#!/bin/sh

#Symlink Optware to /opt
rm -rf /opt
ln -sf /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Optware /opt

#Export Optware PATH
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/usr/local/sbin" >> /etc/profile

#Start Optware
/etc/init.d/Optware.sh start

#Start JAVA
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/JRE/jre.sh start

#Export JAVA PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre

#Start PS3 MediaServer
cd /opt/pms
./PMS.sh &


the program started fine however I can only see files with english characters, I no longer be able to see any chinese charactor file showing up. I checked the debug.log however it was exactly the same as i manually run through putty.

does autorun.sh really make any difference than running through putty?

I had the same problem with the stock 1.10.5 release. It wasn't just limited to Chinese -- filenames with Japanese characters or accents in them didn't show up, either. The problem appears to be that the LANG environment variable needs to be set. Setting it to "en_US.UTF-8" fixed the problem for me. To ensure that it's always set, I added the following two lines near the top of PMS.sh after the #!/bin/sh:

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG
