FFmpegFrameGrabber.load(myFile) .. start() crashes in Version 1.5.8 when using a filename with special characters

[HagiHagi]

If i try to load a filename with special characters (excample: Mic Macs Raphael Beau 07 Ca déroule_44100_16_2.wav) my java program crashes without a comment.
In version 1.5.7 all is fine.
I use java 8.202 and I packaged the software with oracles's jpackager. When the software runs inside the IDE (Netbeans 8) everything works, but if I run the installed software on Windows 10 it crashes without a comment.
If I do the same but using javacv_platform-1.5.7 all works fine.

The crash occurs at the code sequence:
FFmpegFrameGrabber myGrabber = FFmpegFrameGrabber.load(Mic Macs Raphael Beau 07 Ca déroule_44100_16_2.wav);
myGrabber.start();

There's nothing in JavaCPP or JavaCV that changed with regards to strings, but it's possible FFmpeg changed something. Could you try to see if you can open files with avformat_open_input() and a BytePointer using different encodings? It's possible they standardized on UTF-8 or something.

Yes, it looks like they standardized on UTF-8:

Please try to use UTF-8 encoding for the filename instead of the platform default.

Thank you very much.

Yes, the problem is the encoding.

I use Oracle's JDK 8.202
When I start the software in the IDE (Netbeans UTF-8 is set) file.encoding is UTF-8!
When I pack, install and run the software with Oracle Packager on Windows, the file.encoding is the Windows OS encoding cp.... (ansii).
The solution is to make sure the file encoding is UTF-8, this is done by starting the jar with:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 and and -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 mySoftware.jar

Now it works fine!

I've pushed a fix for this in commit bytedeco/javacpp-presets@ae2a14e. With that, you shouldn't need to modify the encoding for the whole application. Please give it a try with the snapshots and let me know if you are still having any issues: http://bytedeco.org/builds/

Version 1.5.9 has been released with the fix! Thanks for reporting
