Hi again, an other problem has appeared with the ID3 processing import function.

It appears that songs with Japanese characters on the tags cannot be imported with the ID3 processing method.

All i get is an error 500, no extensive report or anything

    hmm... something to do with the encoding probably.

    could you send me the file by email so I can do a little bit of test?

    I answered you yesterday!
    directly to your email... didn't you get it?

    this is what I wrote:

    "Hello Rickard!

    finally I could test the japanese file.

    I haven't had any problems adding it using the ID3 function.. it works perfectly, it imports the song correctly and the song's japanaese characters in the name are there.
    what was the problem you were having? could it be related to PHP version maybe? what version are you using?"

    Hi, I'm so sorry, i went on a vacation, just got back today.

    That is really strange, but also promising, then it might be some charset problem somwhere else.

    I am using PHP5 on the site.
    Do you want me to mail you the phpinfo output?

    Update:
    I got some strange info in syslog from PHP when running the id3 script on that file
    "PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromstring() in ***************/components/com_muscol/helpers/helpers.php on line 1042"

    Could that have something to do with the error 500?

    Update 2:
    I have just removed the album art with the help of mp3tag.
    I managed to add the file with the id3 script.
    So i guess that it is a problem creating the album art with the helpers.php file.
    Does the server need anything for creation of thumbnails (like GD) or does the joomla installation need anything perhaps?

    I have found a solution for the problem.

    The problem in the beginning was not any charset problem, instead it was a problem with the creation of thumbnails.

    The solution is following:
    Make sure that php5-libgd is installed on the webserver.
    :laugh:

    Thank you for the help germi.
    And once again, great extension to joomla.
