Title: files with german characters äöü
Post by: locke on November 05, 2018, 04:04:41 AM
I want to read the the metadata of mp3 files
Using Win 10 64 Bit
I am trying in Lazarus and in run.cmd to export the meta data from ö.mp3 but no success.
In then run.cmd I used 2 byte and 1 byte for the ö both no success.
I have only succes with the export in the dos cmd box.

A file a.mp3 makes no problems in all cases.

Whats my mistake?

Reading the WINDOWS UNICODE FILE NAMES section of the application documentation (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#WINDOWS-UNICODE-FILE-NAMES) may help.
