Tracks/Albums/Artists not mixable if non-ASCII chars in file path
Last modified: 2009-07-31 10:33:20 UTC
Created attachment 4427 [details] Importer.pm diff against SC 7.3-24282 SC 7.3-24282 When using both the Music Folder and have MusicIP only check for mixable status on Windows installations, any tracks containing non-ASCII characters in their file path will not be mixable (API request fails due to wrong file path given). See forum thread: 7.3r24282: Tracks not mixable (MusicIP) if non-ASCII chars in file path (Windows) http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56330 Requires a slight change in the MusicIP plugin’s "Importer.pm" which I have done and attached. Cross-check on Linux and MacOS, please. Please verify and integrate these changes into the MusicIP plugin.
Created attachment 4434 [details] Newly uploaded unified diff against SC 7.3-24282 The other diff was in normal mode, sorry.
I've applied the patch from comment #1 and at a first glance it looks good (in other words: it didn't break) on my linux-gentoo-utf8 system. A wipe&full-scan recognized all my tracks again and set them to "mixable". New mixes are possible, too. Today i'm in "simple mode" so i didn't cross check the logs nor tried to understand the code ;-) btw. i'm using the linux headless MIP service so i can't check the playlist and moods functionality - still waiting for MusicIP to port at least moods to linux.
OFF-TOPIC, re MusicIP Headless: Markus, you might want to check out one of the »newer« headless versions. If I understood Wendell (of MusicIP) correctly, they’ve introduced a "-data=folder" switch, hopefully not only for the Windows version. This should point to the folder containing the "Mood" and "dj" folders. I reckon is was in one of the betas, 1.9b6 or the like.
I'm going to address several charset related issues in the next few days. Thanks a lot for the patch!
