I want to get 3rd part softeware can decode music with no-ascll name such as chinese

[SGaist]

Since you are passing the path to an external library you should call QDir::toNativeSperators use the result to pass the path to player->OpenFile

@SGaist I did that ,but i got a same err. I think the problem is not this.Because when i pass the path like this C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\Sleep Away.mp3 ,it will be ok.But when Sleep Away is replaced with chinese ,it will return err.

What encoding is your filename? UTF-8, or EUC-CN, or GB18030, or something else?

[chaochao]

@JKSH filename get by QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames and convert to const char * by under code

  QByteArray ba  = filename.toUtf8();
  const char * name = ba.data();

name will pass to OpenFile

What @JKSH is asking is not what you are using to decode the filename but how it is encoded by your OS.

[chaochao]

@SGaist GBK2312

If your filename is not encoded in UTF-8, that means toUtf8() will give you the wrong path.

Try converting your filename to the GB2312, not UTF-8:

QTextCodec* codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("GB2312");
QByteArray ba = codec->fromUnicode(filename);
const char* name = ba.data();

@JKSH as your code ,if i qDebug()<<name;

it will output
C:/Users/Public/Music/Sample Music/????.mp3

What do you see if you call qDebug() << ba?

Does zplay recognize this name?

What happens if you use Windows functions to get the filename? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3176208/files-in-directory-in-c

Don't forget you still need to first convert the path to native separators before passing it to your other library.
