### 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    |
