When there is a specific (two character code) UTF-8 letter in the filename, LE will not be able to play it. It can neither be replayed while it is being recorded and I switch to that program nor can it be played from the main menu Recordings list. Simply, nothing happens. Recordings, Filename character set: is UTF-8. RPi4 LibreELEC v9.2.5
Trying to illustrate (we have 10 of such letters in Croatian: čČćĆžŽšŠđĐ). I hope my exotic representation of UTF-8 characters is illustrative in this context.
A recording called "Zločinci u odijelima" looks like "ZloÄŤinci u odijelima" when read as non-UTF.
A recording called "Laži mi" would look like "LaĹľi mi" in non-UTF.
When TVh Recordings is configured to "Remove all unsafe characters from filename:" filenames are written by omitting our letters but are normally (re)played.
Oddly enough:
a) while a file saved as e.g. "Laži mi" or "Zločinci u odijelima" can not be replayed, it will be deleted correctly
b) if "Make subdirectories per title:" is on, even with "Remove all unsafe characters from filename:" off, filename and the folders are written correctly with our UTF-8 letters but LE plays them normally! I just tested "Kockići" which made a folder "Kockići" (when read as non-UTF: "Kockići") and within it a file
"Kockići2020-08-2604-10.mkv" (when read as non-UTF: "Kockići2020-08-2604-10.mkv"). But when saved directly to the basefolder, the same filenames will not play.
