Description

  • This is not a feature request
  • This is not an image-provider request
  • I have searched the issuetracker if the issue is not already reported.

Describe the bug:
Images containing umlaut characters (e.g. Ä or Ö) in their tags aren't displaying.

To Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Splash settings
  2. List only tags containing umlaut characters, for example jönköping, hämeenlinna, jyväskylä
  3. Refresh the page, and an error background image is displayed.

Expected behavior:
Images containing these tags should appear.

Server:

  • Nextcloud version: 27.0.1
  • Splash-App version: 2.2.1

Additional Information:

  • The bug can be circumvented by omitting the umlauts, i.e. "jonkoping, hameenlinna, jyvaskyla".
  • It looks like some tags containing umlauts DO display other images besides the error image, such as öland and häme. Note, however, that the tag häme only displays an image of a cat, completely different from the 23 images that you can find, if you use the same tag at unsplash.com.
  • I also tried adding cyrillic tags, such as Москва, and it seemed to work.
