plex share via windows explorer - file names not displayed correctly


Recommended Posts

So this has been bugging me for a while, have not spent all that much time researching it.. But can not seem to find an answer... Maybe someone here that is more familiar with unicode and codepages/fonts with explorer has solution?

 

So a while back plex starting putting files in its root folder saying not to store files here in multiple languages.

"Please do not place any media files here"

 

So as you can see if you view them in file station on dsm, you can read them in the different languages.

But when you access that share via explorer (windows 10) Only the Asian ones are displayed correctly... I am not using any Asian settings in windows.. If I view them directly on the nas via ssh connection, they also show correctly.

 

Not a big issues, just odd and bugs me..

 

Any ideas on how can get windows to show these files correctly?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone running plex on a synology nas, and can even validate they are seeing the same thing?  Or plex on anything and access the share?  And do you see these files with correct names, or like how I am seeing them?

Ok so finally got this figured out... its the samba server on nas... had to set

 

mangled names=no

 

in the smb.conf and then restart smb... Now they show actual file names.

    • The one thing people should pirate is the operating system. You can't get rid of it...
    • "prepare for mandatory Windows 11 upgrade" This is apparently some new use of the word "mandatory" with which until now I was not acquainted. What's the consequence for non-compliance? Microsoft whining incessantly at you? Trump will levy a tariff on you? Oh wait, that's what they're doing now.
    • Waste of money. Most of Africa is a 14th century sewer. South Africa use to be wealthy & doing well until they "kicked out" the ones running it.
    • Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals. Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta. It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface. During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users: Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more. You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).
