Urhoplayer.exe crash when playlist path contains special characters like ÅÄÖ

I need to render the movie. So I’m passing arguments for example (urhoplayer.exe “D:\Projects\övrigt\playlists\20181105–103658–b2995b35-5383-466e-bdec-58625370912f” -x 600 -y 800 -WindowPositionX 7 -WindowPositionY 29) to uhro player. but it crash the urhoplayer. This is due to special characters in my playlist path. Is there any solution available for this ?

FWIW, it looks like it is Windows-specific problem. I could not reproduce it locally on Linux host, at least on my Fedora system.

I’m running on this Windows 10.

Anything in the log? Users/__YourUserName__/AppData/Roaming/Urho3D/logs/__ProgramYouRan___.txt

No logs. I’m just passing command line arguments to urho player.

urhoplayer.exe “D:\Projects\övrigt\playlists\20181105–103658–b2995b35-5383-466e-bdec-58625370912f” -x 600 -y 800 -WindowPositionX 7 -WindowPositionY 29

I found why this is happen on windows.
https://github.com/urho3d/Urho3D/blob/master/Source/Urho3D/IO/FileSystem.cpp ( bool FileSystem::FileExists(const String& fileName) const )
here we have this check statement

#ifdef WIN32
    DWORD attributes = GetFileAttributesW(WString(fixedName).CString());
    if (attributes == INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES || !(attributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY))
        return false;

and it returns null if path with contains letters like ÅÄÖ

What’s your system codepage?

Switching to using the correct OS functions ( MultiByteToWideChar ) in the WString consversion will most likely fix it. The current EncodeUTF16 functions are codepage ignorant.
