Every time I try to sync my music library I receive the error on a few files “normalizing path: item has UTF8 encoding conflict with another item”.
I’m trying to sync from Windows 11 to Android.
The titles are all containing special characters, for example: 06 xXXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx.opus
I don’t know why these characters are causing conflicts, these files originally came from all sorts of systems that could have been using conflicting formatting at some point.
How should I go about fixing the filenames so that this conflict stops happening?
Just to be clear, if you look in the directory, you don’t have two files apparently both called xXXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx.opus? If so, I suspect this is probably a bug caused by unexpected (from your side) behaviour of the filesystem. On which device do you get the errors?
I’m glad you asked! I didn’t realize there was indeed duplicates in my folder.
I’m using a custom python script to manually move some files around, so it must have some encoding issue that is causing duplicates for some obscure symbols.
