Audacious 1.2 encoding problems with gentoo
Yesterday I updated audacious on my gentoo box from ver 1.1 to ver 1.2.1. The result that was all my songs with greek tags became unreadable.
It seems that in the 1.2.1 version a new use flag was introduced: “chardet”.. So the solution is:
echo "media-sound/audacious chardet" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "media-plugins/audacious-plugins chardet" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -avt audacious audacious-plugins
then open audacious–>Preferences–>Playlist–>Metadata–>”Fallback Character encodings” ISO-8859-7
hope it helps some of you…
