Hello

I have the following file on my system (with UTF-8 é char):

  Winx Club - S04E06 - Une fée en danger.mkv

When I try to run kmplayer on this file, kmplayer shows only a black screen 
(but does not hang). STDOUT shows:


$ kmplayer Winx\ Club\ -\ S04E06\ -\ Une\ fée\ en\ danger.mkv 
mplayer -wid 69206702 -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -framedrop -contrast 0 -
brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 0 /mnt/video3/domi/dessins-animes/Winx 
Club/Winx Club - S04E06 - Une fée en danger.mkv -identify    

Note that the 'é' is garbled.

On the other hand, running kmplayer with LC_ALL=C will work:

$ LC_ALL=C kmplayer Winx\ Club\ -\ S04E06\ -\ Une\ fée\ en\ danger.mkv
mplayer -wid 69206699 -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -framedrop -contrast 0 -
brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 0 /mnt/video3/domi/dessins-animes/Winx 
Club/Winx Club - S04E06 - Une f�e en danger.mkv -identify

If I set konsole to decode ISO-8859-15, I get this display:

$ LC_ALL=C kmplayer Winx\ Club\ -\ S04E06\ -\ Une\ fée\ en\ danger.mkv
mplayer -wid 69206699 -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -framedrop -contrast 0 -
brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 0 /mnt/video3/domi/dessins-animes/Winx 
Club/Winx Club - S04E06 - Une fée en danger.mkv -identify

$ kmplayer Winx\ Club\ -\ S04E06\ -\ Une\ fée\ en\ danger.mkv
mplayer -wid 69206699 -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -framedrop -contrast 0 -
brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 0 /mnt/video3/domi/dessins-animes/Winx 
Club/Winx Club - S04E06 - Une fée en danger.mkv -identify

I guess that kmplayer has some bugs regarding UTF-8

All the best
