Playlist and accented letters

[hubert31]

I have some playlist with folders and songs having that kind of letter, and Poweramp does not recognize them.
If I look at the file structure, I can find those folders and songs and play them.

Anything I can do ?
Thank you for any idea... (I cannot rename all folders and files, got really too many)

You need to ensure your playlists are in UTF-8 (Unicode) format, with a .M3U8 extension, otherwise the encoding for non-standard characters may not work, especially between different platforms. Just because they look the same on-screen doesn't mean the underlying character set is identical.

OK, I'll tryM3U8.
The weird thing is that the play lits can be played on any PC software such as winamp, mediamonkey, even mixxx !
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know.

PC extended ASCII character set mappings for filenames are sometimes different to Linux ( Android) copies. And from a playlist point of view, the filename must match exactly. Unicode text is the best solution.

Try a text editor like Notepad++ on your PC to adjust them if necessary.

OK, thank you for your help Andrewilley, I read the bad list with Notetablight, saved with encoding utf8 with extension m3u8, copied on Phone, and Poweramp is happy. Me too.
Thank you again.
