 A: AoM only updates it's cache once every two hours, so if you add/update/remove items on AniDB it'll take up to two hours before AoM sees them. You can force it to update faster by restarting AoM.
 However, if your mylist still does not match after two hours, please try starting AoM with the /fullupdate switch to force a full update of your cache. If the problem persists please contact me in the #aom channel on irc. While I wish this was easy to fix it's a design mistake which will have to wait for the next major version.
+'''Q: AoM can not hash some of my files with international characters.'''
+A: While most of AoM is Unicode enabled there are some rough parts in the hashing which does conversion between Unicode and the system code page. Bad design I know but that's how it is. While most files will open just fine a few rare ones might not, to increase the compatibility you can change the locale for AoM to a locale which includes the characters you have in the filename. (For example Japanese for files with Japanese characters.)
+If you wish to hash the file to let AoM rename it, just renaming it to something like abc.avi and AoM will fine and rename it.
+This stuff will be fixed in the future.
 '''Q: I feel AoM uses too much ram/cpu/hdd.'''
