ASCII is by far the safest encoding to use.

Some players read m3u8 files while others do not. Many players only accept m3u files with ASCII characters while some support Latin-1 and others support UTF-8. The base encoding for m3u files is not standardized. When ASCII or Latin-1 is selected m3u8 files will be produced whenever the encoding requirement cannot be satisfied. If UTF-8 is chosen m3u8 files will never be produced. The m3u File Encoding setting allows you to choose the character encoding which is allowed in m3u files. If for any reason the filename template results in an empty name, Yate will be used. Th escape sequences are only evaluated once per folder.

The Create m3u Statement can use these settings depending on how it is configured. The Settings Used When Creating Per Folder m3u Files options are used when creating per folder m3u files from the UI.
