### UTF-8 and file:/// URL support
One thing that come up with developing the file browser plugin is the varied support for file:/// URLs and platform-dependant UTF-8 encoding. This likely goes for direct-file invocation as well as playlist-contained references. Here grouped by samples:
| App | version | platform | file:/// | UTF-8 |

| VLC | 2.2.4 | Windows 7 | yes | syscp |
| Wmplayer | \* | Windows 7 | no | syscp |
| AIMP | \* | Windows 7 | no | syscp |
| MPC | \* | Windows 7 | no | syscp |
