Unicode File Output

[noidea]

The stdout logging seems to struggle with unicode, replacing accented characters with question marks.

E.g. Y tu mamá también comes out Y tu mam? tambi?n

Yeah, that's cmdline on Windows, pretty shitty.

If you're redirecting output into a file though then you're in luck, just add this option to filebot.cmd:

Code: Select all

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

It'll still be gibberish in the cmd window, but if you pipe things into a file and open it with an editor later it'll work (maybe need to switch the editor to read things as UTF-8).

Aaah I see, it's Java itself that's defaulting to the wrong encoding. Thanks, that helps a lot.

I was using cygwin over SSH, which ordinarily works fine and so I was caught out when this didn't. The file.encoding option works great.

Java on Linux? That's always UTF-8 by default as far as I know.
