From: Peter John on 20 Jun 2010 20:50 Hi, Me again, ruby 1.9.1 and windows 7 x64. My ruby program reads a ton of directory structures containing wav files, tag metadata and cuesheets. It then goes on to generate (ruby and/or batch) scripts that can be used to invoke lame (the mp3 encoder). An example line from such a script would be: ruby `lame --nohist -q0 -V0 -ms --vbr-new --id3v2-only --replaygain-accurate --ta "10cc" --tl "Live In Concert - Volume One" --ty "1995" --tn "01/08" --tc "EU1995" --tt "The Wall Street Shuffle" "I:/media/Music/Archive/10cc/Live In Concert - EU1993 - Volume One/01 The Wall Street Shuffle.wav" "10cc/Live In Concert - EU1993 - Volume One/01 The Wall Street Shuffle.mp3"` If the input wav filename contains a French or German character, lame fails saying that the input file does not exist. Seems that lame is not getting the correct accent in the input parameters. Adding # encoding: utf-8 doesn't help. Changing the batch file encoding to windows-1252 when writing it from ruby causes EncodingConversion errors in ruby - it breaks on the accented line, saying it cannot convert utf-8 \xyz \xyz to windows-1252 (note that inside my ruby program, I consistently work with utf-8). It seems that in one case (utf-8) windows is misbehaving, and in the other case (windows-1252) I cannot find a way to make ruby do what I want. Tips would be welcome. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is this an issue with lame? You might get some traction by experimenting with Encoding.default_external Encoding.default_internal (basically by trying to write the batch files by using some other encoding than the one you currently are). http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming/Reference/Objects/Encoding has some helpful links at the bottom. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
