Hi,
I'm struggling with charset conversion using Samba and VDR.
The Samba server is version 3.0.22 (on Gentoo).
Locales are:
GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8 LANG=en_US.utf8 LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.utf8 LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.utf8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LC_NAME=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8 LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_US.utf8
In smb.conf I've added
dos charset = UTF8 unix charset = UTF8 display charset = UTF8
The Samba server should work with all NT4/XP-based based Windoze clients, MacOS 10.x- and Linux clients using de_DE.utf8 charset.
The Problem is the VDR-Box. It's the Minidvblinux distribution with samba-client-2.2.3a-1. As there are no environment variables for charset I assume it uses standard POSIX/C. I've tried different iocharset and codepage options for smbmount on the MLD-VDR box, but still get weird chars.
Thanx for any hint how to configure Samba/smbmount
