Windows, Player and unicode filename

[Toki support]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make my software run well on non western Windows version, I'm testing on a Korean Windows.
My application can play videos but I face a problem with the player object I can't solve.

When the movie file name contains Korean characters, e.g. "C:/Users/Kim/Videos/김.mov" I use the URL path
set the filename of player "myplayer" to "file:///C:/Users/Kim/Videos/%EA%B9%80.mov"
and it just works fine

But, if the account user name is in Korean, the path to the file is "C:/Users/김/Videos/kim.mov"
set the filename of player "myplayer" to "file:///C:/Users/%EA%B9%80/Videos/kim.mov"
fails with the error message "could not create movie reference"

For the test, I used Firefox to get the URL paths. Firefox can open both files with the QuickTime plugin.

So, the behavior is different depending on whether the user name or the file name is in Korean.
Is it a Windows problem, or another annoying Livecode unicode bug?
Has someone solved this issue, or has a work around?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hope a Windows expert on the list can help me.

Thank you.
