Dear Peter,

I know this topic was allready rised by me some time ago, and was not solved, but since then I installed 4 XXHighEnd on 4 different computers using clear system installation with default options. None other software was installed on that computers that could interfere with XXHighEnd.

I installed XXHighEnd twice on Vista and twice on Windows 7. The only things that are common to all the 4 installations are:
- polish version of systems
- Ultimate version of Windows (Vista and 7).

Summing things up, XXHighEnd cannot play any track that contains any ASCI-extended characters (code > 128) on polish Ultimate Version (Vista or 7).
The following 5 error screens are displayed by XXHighEnd.

The most common problem, is that diring ripping of CD, question mark character is converted to inverted question mark (code 168), which makes problem with XXHighEnd. Question mark is quite common in track titles.

Can you help me ?
Best regards

Jarek

Hi there Jarek,

I am sorry for your problems, but as you will have seen you are still the only one reporting this. But ...

I am not sure this was brought up before, but can it be so that you have problems with this : How to restore Short Dos 8.3 names ?

It would be the most logical explanation to me at this time. So, if you have shut this off, there is no way to deal with names that exclude the dependency of universal names ... anyway not for me.

Can that be it ?
(and excuse me if this has been brought up before; I just don't know anymore).

Hi Peter,

this is not DOS 8.3 names problem, I alrady check it.
I see I am not the only one here.

The installation of Windows was clear and default.
I can get rid of those arrors by removing ASCII extended chars from the track name, but this is partial solution.
Let me know if something can be done here.

Jarek, Telstar is talking about another problem. Sorry. You *are* the only one. Well, as I have heard ... so far !

And remember (about your other thread (well deserved btw)) I tried your characters (on a dutch system), and it just works.
But I sure hope the problem will be solved soon !!

Dear Peter,

I tried to diagnose flac.exe in XXHIghEnd directory.
Created a track named hey¿.flac in this directory.
In dos box, tried to copy hey¿.flac name , but received hey?.flac instead, which is different name !
Then renamed hey¿.flac to heyè.flac and again, received heyc.flac.
Looks like every ASCII extended character is converted in DOS box to lower ASCII.
I tested this behavior on english version of Windows 2003 Server, and the same, ASCII extened are replaced.
Maybe they are replaced also when you run FLAC.EXE from within your code ?
Can we test it ?

Best regards
Jarek

Hey Jarek,

The point is, I don't think these characters sould be subject (and fed to) FLAC.exe in the first place. At this moment I am not sure though. Would you care to again post an XX log file of such a situation which won't play ?

Thanks !

Yes, no problem. File attached.
I checked that every extended ASCII is converted in log file to question mark, so you cannot find problems in log file.
After log was created, I tied a lot of other tracks, in each case ASCII extended chars were converted to "?".

I wonder whether I ever before noticed this :

FLAC decoding *ERROR* before user message for processor 1 Output Name ------- "UnicodeTrack0001.wav"

but it indeed shows what I told longer ago ... somehow "your" FLAC can't cope with this.

I don't know by heart at this moment what the name of that track actually is, but does it contain such strange charachters ?? I don't think so.
I know we did this before, but maybe you can copy the actual title to me, so I can replace that with my version and again see what happens ...

In the mean time, a Dos box as a kind of character set. It is long ago for me, but if you can find it and change it (we used to do this in config.sys IIRC -> now in the config.nt of the Dos box ! (or "console" as how it's called) ... maybe that changes things for you.

We *will* find it !

Dear Peter,

in order to insert ASCII extended char into CMD screen, I switched font in CMD window propertis do True Type. It worked. See attached screenshot. FLAC.EXE reported an error, converting ¿ to ?.  Try to reporoduce this.

Ok, let's take this as an example ... I must understand some things ...

Where does this question mark come from in the first place ? I mean, "Hey you" doesn't have any, nor other strange characters. As "Vera" does not.
Or is this you just testing with that ? If so, I need that character from you ... (sorry if I didn't get it in the first place !)


And btw, I don't think an upside down question mark is a polish character either (or ?).

Then renamed hey¿.flac to heyè.flac and again, received heyc.flac.

Ok, I got that (by) now. Happy

The point is (no, must be) you are "entering" those characters the wrong way. So now my question is : supposed you rip such a track by EAC and let EAC create the track names. What happens ?


And FYI : Any editor or anything will work "in" a code page. In either case you will see the correct character because you are just typing it, but under the hood the code page translates it to, well, that "code".

Peter,

inverted question mark commes from dbPoweramp CD Ripping software; when this software finds ? conmverts it to inverted questionmark, because ? is forbidden in a file system.

The question mark is for example in Pink Floyd, The Wall, Is There Anybody Out There ?. I took it from there. When somebody has 2000 CDs, surely there is at least 100 question marks in them. This is really quite common. Why did you find it in Hey You track ?
Because for testing reason (Hey You is shorter for me to type).

The same other characters. They come from Norwegian CDs, I have a lot of them, since the music is good.
So what can be done to solve this issue ?

Dear Jarek,

The point is, I don't think these characters sould be subject (and fed to) FLAC.exe in the first place. At this moment I am not sure though.

Ok, I guess I am just feeding that to the FLAC conversion, instead of the Dos 8.3 Short Names. So, if all is right that should solve it for you. But ...

I can't oversee what more is needed to really let it work. So, this may go from the one hurdle to the other.
Keep in mind : it is your system doing this to you. Something just ain't right.

You are talking about a kind of conversion from extended ASCII to normal, but this is not the case. Your system(s) apply some conversion which they shouldn't.
But let's see if feeding FLAC with 8.3 Names help.
