Bug#627661: smplayer does not open files from directory which has name in Russian

[Andrey]

Package: smplayer
Version: 0.6.9-3
Severity: important


Smplayer does not open files from directory if directory name is in Russian.

File itself is OK, I can use other utilities with it:

$ ls -l /home/me/Загрузки/Skyline\ BDRip-AVC\ x264\ Gambit.mkv
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 2326977093 Май 22 17:44 /home/me/Загрузки/Skyline BDRip-AVC x264 Gambit.mkv

Also mplayer will open the file. But if to try to use smplayer:

$ smplayer /home/me/Загрузки/Skyline\ BDRip-AVC\ x264\ Gambit.mkv

it won't. It behaves like no file name was passed to it.

Please note that Russian filenames is not a problem - smplayer can open it. Only Russian directory name triggers it.

Problem appeared after last `apt-get dist-upgrade`.

P.S. Just tried version 0.6.9-4 - problem remains
