I have a artist in the database named Axwell Λ Ingrosso.
When I import the file in the database the file is imported no errors.
When I do a re scan (synchronize storage) there is a new file and a missing file (in the missing file the Λ is a ?)
I found out that the Λ is the problem and when I remove it in the file do a re scan everything is fine but when you sears for Axwell Λ Ingrosso only the name is in the root of the database and after removing the Λ in the name and tag (details file) the it stays in the database, Question what’s the problem can’t Mairlist handle the Λ ?
Is there anything I can do except removing the Λ becauce its a lot of work and its not the only symbol that give’s problems.
Edit
Did some testing and if you place the Λ back in mairlist (artist field) the file is not there anymore.
If you look at the wiki of the band the are from Zweden and you can also pronounce it as Axwell and Ingrosso.
Probably Λ means and or &.
But it has a very negative impact on mairlist.
We will check this internally but kindly ask you to wait until Monday or Tuesday.
What type of SQL do you use for the backend?
Maria db on synology nas
Try adding
CharacterSet=utf8
as an additional connection optin in the configuration:
If you have already have a value there, e.g. the custom port setting for MariaDB, use a semicolon like this:
Port=3307;CharacterSet=utf8
