Media Player can't run Videos with arabic filenames and shows question marks '?'

I managed to mount a Windows 10 network share folder on enigma2 OpenPLI image (v8.1).

The folder contains Videos only (and videos under subfolders) with arabic letters in filenames.

The default Media Player Plugin and e2iplayer can't run these videos, but they can run same videos when renamed using english letters only (not mixed with arabic).

Question marks appear instead of arabic letters in filenames (same for folders, they have videos under them but Media Player can't list those videos).

test.mp4 works fine but same one with question marks '????... .mp4' doesn't.

Any solution?

In Enigma, the folder mounted with this command (Because can't figure out how to mount with MountManager and NetworkBrowser is crashing in OpenPLI):

mount -t cifs -o vers=2.0,credentials=<credentials_file> //WIN_SHARE_IP/<shared_folder_name> /mnt/win_share

In Windows, I give access to Everyone with following Permissions:

Read & execute, List folder contents and Read

Thanks KiddaC for your reply, and for your time to take pics.

Are you using a different skin other than default skin.

No, default skin, never changed.

The box I use is MaxDigital-XP1000 with OpenPLI image (latest version).

And the box has only 1 USB port.

A USB with some system files is always inserted, so I can't insert another one to test your approach.

Are you using the default Media Player in OpenATV?

Did you rename the video filename inside Enigma (directly) or remotly (e.g. telnet) or outside (e.g. Windows)?
