How to include non ascii results in a search for a ascii formatted tag #2401
-
|
What I want to achieve is best illustrated with an example: The Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša is correctly written "Hrůša" but as you usually might not have the characters needed on your keyboard, the tag might be "Hrusa". Same for e.g. the composer Béla Bartók which might be tagged "Bela Bartok". What I want is that a search "simplified" to ASCII ("Hrusa" or "Bartok") should include the results for "Hrůša" and "Bartók" (and possibly such that only partly use correct characters) as well. |

There is good news; this is called strip_diacritics and MPD can do this. The bad news is it is a per-connection feature and your client needs to support enabling it; or allowing you to send arbitrary commands to mpd. I just checked one of my clients, and it has a strip_diacritics option on it's search; another client doesn't have anyway of doing this. |
