characters of title & artist changed to be irrecognizable because different coder

[farta]

Binary package hint: totem

I'm using ubuntu 9.04 i386 version, locale info as following:

~$ locale
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

When using totem to play music with a Chinese title/artist name, characters may become irrecognizable. But this doesn't always take place. I guess a UTF-8 encoding name is ok, but a GBK encoding name will fail.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

could you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce the bug? could you attach an example to the report? thanks.

And if I may expect, let the system/application gain the full ability to
determine what code is used for a file's property may cost quite a lot of
effort. However, there may be another way to solve the problem. Right now,
the Nautilus don't have the function to change the content of a property of
a music file. I wish it will be available in a future version.

Thanks.
