Single quote character turns into a mess

[penetal]

First of, thanks for the great renamer. This is the third OS platform I'm using this awesome tool on.

Okay well here's the problem, when it tried to get the name of an episode with a single quote in it the name what came out was not entirely ideal.

Title in DB: He’s Bla-ack
Name that came out: Family Guy - S12E20 - He�M-^@M-^Ys Bla-ack.mkv

As you can see the ' character got turned into �M-^@M-^Y and I have no idea why

PS I can have files with single quotes in the name without problems

Code: Select all

$ touch "te'st.file" && ls -l
total 92
...other files in directory
-rw-rw-r--  1 root    Write-Config    0 May 21 21:37 te'st.file

Command Output

Sysinfo

Code: Select all

./filebot.sh -script fn:sysinfo

ASCII quote:

Code: Select all

'

UNICODE quote:

Code: Select all

’

It's a completely different character. So ascii works and unicode doesn't.

1. Configure locale correctly

2. Make sure your SSH client displays unicode correctly

3. Use Java 8 and make sure the locale is set correctly before the java call:

Code: Select all

# force JVM language and encoding settings
export LANG=en_US.utf8

Thanks, that put me on the right track. Since my setup dosen't run with a full environment I simply had to place a few more lines in the filebot.sh script that came with the package

Code: Select all

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE=C
export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

Then we were off to sort all the files ever, cheers.
