does it even display the file names correctly ?? I have not done any work yet as to support foreign fonts. I do intend to get to it some time..

Another question though: does media player classic play the files correctly if you open it outside MPC ?

I do believe I'll have to add some support for that to work..

1. Yes the files names are shown correctly because I changed the fonts used in the skin.

2. MP classic plays the files even with the Greek names.

The video player loads all files/playlist using VB code, and VB has very poor support for foreign fonts.. I'll make sure to look into this wit a little more time... the audio player works because it basically lets winamp handle the file names/titles etc..

Did you try this yet after I added support for "foreign" fonts ??

Let me know, I simply used the code I had on my page for my other project (to display greek, chinese etc). Haven't tested myself, that's why I ask...

Let me know..

I tried the new version but the situation is still the same.
While the audio player plays all songs, even if the contain names with Greek characters, the video player refuses to play eanything that contains Greek characters in the name. If the same file is renamed using English characters then it plays fine.

I'd like to help you, but you'll have to help me first:

1-Give me your Windows Reginal Settings (Standards, Location and Language for Non-Unicode settings)
2-Make me a "list of file names as you have (the way that they don't play) -- Probably a good idea to create zero-sized files with those names and zip them up so I can get them..
3-Tell me which font (or send me a font) that I can use to view the greek characters with.
4-Zip up and send me your .skin files...

I need the above to perform testing and tweaking... I want to solve your problem while allowing many other (potential) users of different countries to use the software propperly This should not be too hard to fix...

Let me know,
Guino.

Ok I will prepare everything and send it to you.

Thanks for your time.
