Fix special characters in Subsonic

I recently installed Subsonic on my NAS to listen to my music from work. What I like the most about Subsonic is its ability to transcode my FLAC files into MP3 inmediately to stream them.

The only problem I had was that some songs with special characters looked bad, and in these cases Subsonic couldn’t transcode or read then as it was looking for non existing files.

The solucion is quite easy : in Subsonic startup file, “subsonic.sh”, add the following line on top :

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

That’s it, just restart Subsonic and everything works fine
