Using mpv media player with accented characters in the filename

[elriba]

I am starting to use mpv media player and have run into a problem with videos with accented characters in the filename.

For example, if I try to do the following:

mpv --start=13:20 --length=10 "video áéíóúñü.mp4"

I get an error:

[file] Cannot open file 'video ßÚݾ·±³.mp4': No such file or directory

As you can see, the name is completely changed. The accented characters are not recognized.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks!

I resolved this problem.

I was using a batch file to run and I needed to save the batch file as a DOS file, rather than ANSI or UTF8.

Now it is working....

Windows 7 ?

Yes. BTW, I am exploring mvp.net for using that instead.

Win 10 has an improved CMD terminal interpreter but you might as well use PowerShell as terminal interpreter!
