Strange problem

MKV

All others MP4

I was able to reproduce the problem. This is what I found out: when trying to play the file سالي.mp4 SMPlayer actually gets "????.mp4" as filename (4 question marks). The filename of course is wrong. SMPlayer passes that name to mpv which interprets it as a wildcard, meaning play the first file with 4 characters in the filename. So that's why it plays another file.

I don't know why this is happening. Maybe a bug in QCoreApplication::arguments(). SMPlayer gets the filenames to play from that function.

It works fine if you use the option File -> Open, or if you drag & drop the video in the SMPlayer window, because in that case SMPlayer receives the correct filename since the filename comes from other functions.

If I rename the filename, for example, appending "-2" to the name, then SMPlayer gets the correct filename.

thank you i am happy to know you could diagnose the problem i hope my contribution was enough for the dev ( is it you by the way ?? ) to solve the problem obviously it will take sometime or may not be solved at all but i will try tolerate it as much as i can because i dont want to rename the files nor i want to use another media player smplayer rocks anyway thnx again i hope u can update me if anything changes have a nice day

I think the problem is fixed in version 18.4.0.8999:

Despite still showing random codes and numbers at top left in smplayer window ..... IT WORKED thnx a lot

[rvm]

Numbers?

[servusdedurantem]

when u play file lets say named football.mp4
smplayer window at left upper corner shows video title as football but in my case instead of showing correct video title it shows some code like DC1234
but this does not happen when i choose menu open file it only happens when double clicking to open the video

[rvm]

That's weird. Can you send a screenshot?

[servusdedurantem]

all the files show wrong names instead of the arabic font and mybad i thought it shows normal when click open file and wrong when double clicking maybe this latest version does that but double clicking and showing wrong file name occured in all versions i tested
