Hi all,

I recently enabled the "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language
support" option in the computer's Region Settings (Windows 11), so that
I could properly scan all my tracks into the library.

However, I found that enabling this setting breaks the Settings page for
many of your Plugins (AirPlay bridge, Sharplay4w, and UPnP bridge at
least).

When this setting is enabled, the Plugins no longer appear in the
"Advanced" menu in settings, or the Settings dropdown in Material Skin.
I will also get 404 errors when trying to access the settings pages
directly from the Plugins page. (404 Not Found:
plugins/Extensions/settings/plugins/[pluginname]/settings/basic.html)

I have seen some linux users resolve this issue by
updating/re-installing some Perl modules, however, I don't know how to
do that in Windows.

I'd like to be able to scan tracks with non-English characters. I
suppose if there's another way to do this I could avoid this problem,
but for now, I'm just reporting that UTF-8 encoding is the root cause in
my case.

More info: While troubleshooting I uninstalled and reinstalled the
plugins, upgraded to LMS 8.2, and finally performed a clean LMS install.
Once this didn't fix it I considered Windows settings that had changed
and remembered I enabled the UTF-8 encoding. Disabling this + restarting
resolved the issue. Sorry, I don't have logs anymore, but could get
staged up to recreate the issue if that's useful for you.

Thanks for everything!! You've really turned LMS into a uniquely
powerful piece of software.
