=D4=E7 =D4=E5=F4=DC=F1=F4=E7, 5 =C9=EF=F5=ED=DF=EF=F5 2013 8:56:36 =F0.=EC.=
 UTC+3, =EF =F7=F1=DE=F3=F4=E7=F2 Steven D'Aprano =DD=E3=F1=E1=F8=E5:

Somehow, I don't know how because I didn't see it happen, you have one or=
=20
more files in that directory where the file name as bytes is invalid when=
=20
decoded as UTF-8, but your system is set to use UTF-8. So to fix this you=
=20
need to rename the file using some tool that doesn't care quite so much=20
about encodings. Use the bash command line to rename each file in turn=20
until the problem goes away.=20

But renaming ia hsell access like 'mv 'Euxi tou Ihsou.mp3' '=C5=F5=F7=DE =
=F4=EF=F5 =C9=E7=F3=EF=F5.mp3' leade to that unknown encoding of this bytes=
tream '\305\365\367\336\ \364\357\365\ \311\347\363\357\375.mp3'

But please tell me Steven what linux tool you think it can encode the weird=
 filename to proper '=C5=F5=F7=DE =F4=EF=F5 =C9=E7=F3=EF=F5.mp3' utf-8?

or we cna write a script as i suggested to decode back the bytestream using=
 all sorts of available decode charsets boiling down to the original greek =
letters.
