Unable to interpret cyrillic encoding

[Daniel Ejsing-Duun]

As described in the question by user tigra:
"I have problem with view russian names of files in rhythmbox. Names of files and additional information in files is not readable. Cyrillic encoding problem? My system is ubuntu 7.04. Files stored on NTFS. "

I think this deserves to be looked at as a bug, since most users will see it as such without thinking about needing to reencode file names nor knowing that this is possible or how to do it.

Since Rhythmbox is now again the standard music player for Ubuntu, I believe it should expand its support for file name character encodings if possible.

Edit: Seeing as how the related question is put so far down on Launchpad, I will post the link here too. It describes a work-around, which is not for non-technical users: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+question/9373

In order to increase your chances of getting some attention to the issue, I would suggest you to report this bug directly on the GNOME's Bugzilla.

Thank you. I will try that.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Looks like it's fixed in 2.97

Indeed it does. Now the problem is not Rhythmbox anymore :).
