    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:

    Code:
    mpv --start=13:20 --length=10 "video áéíóúñü.mp4"
    I get an error:

    Code:
    [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....

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

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