Configuration:
- web app running on a Win2003 serve - US English is
default codepage
- client PC is XP - US English is default codepage
- open MediaPlayer standalone
- type URL of .avi file that contains chinese characters
in filename (note IE set up to encode URLs as UTF8)
- get ERROR saying can't locate file

if I rename file to remove unicode characters, it works.
According to Knowledge Base Article 309339, this should
work (note the text under MORE INFORMATION).

Note my real problem is that I can't get MediaPlayer to
launch automatically from my web app when I pass a URL to
IE that contains chinese characters. I figured the above
test is easy to reproduce the problem.

If I run my web app on the 2003 server, I can "save to
disk" files that have chinese characters in the
filenames. Is it possible MediaPlayer is UTF8 encoding
the URL incorrectly?
