Corn is a small music playing daemon, forked from Quark. It communicates via D-BUS, adhering to the MPRIS spec for interoperability with frontends and utilities that support MPRIS. http://incise.org/corn.html Playing songs with non-english filenames ---------------------------------------- If you want to play files that are not named in UTF-8 encoding and contain non-ascii characters, then you will have to pull some strings to make Corn load them. Setting environment variables as shown here can make Corn work with them: export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=0 # this says that your filenames are not UTF-8 export CHARSET=ISO_8859-1 # this tells Corn what charset your files are # using, change its value as appropriate Alternately, you can rename your files to use UTF-8 characters.
