Hello everybody!
This is my first post here, so I hope it obeys the forum rules sufficiently.
I just tried to render a video from JPG files, where the images reside in a directory whose path contains umlaut characters like Ä, ü, … The protocol says
[mlt_producer 0x5577803ea210] /path-containing-umlaut-Ä/someImage.jpg
QImage retry: 1 - File not found
while in the same protocol there is no complaint about MP4 files in the same directory:
[chain avformat-novalidate] /path-containing-umlaut-Ä/someVideoClip.mp4
checking VFR: pkt.duration 4786
BTW: the .mlt file contains only relative paths, so the umlaut character does not show in that file.
Can someone reproduce this? And can someone fix it? Using umlaut characters might not be a worldwide problem, but in Germany it is very common.
Thank you for any help
Rainer
