Dear Maintainer, for many years I was using smplayer quite happily,
thank you very much!
But recently I upgraded to Debian 9 stretch and now I have a problem
playing files where filename or path is in koi8-r encoding (I use
ru_RU.KOI8-R locale). When I try to play such a file smplayer reports
"Cannot start mpv". In the smplayer's log I see the file name/path
recoded to a wrong encoding. I'm not sure but it seems smplayer
re-encodes file paths from the current locale to utf-8 and pass the
re-encoded name to mpv, that what I suspect.
I experimented a bit and found smplayer plays files with utf-8 names
without a problem. For many reasons I don't want to recode my file/dir
names and switch to utf-8. So now I have to play files directly with
mpv.
I don't know if it's Debian-specific or upstream bug.
