Bugzilla – Bug 11015
Transcoding issue
Last modified: 2012-02-27 17:33:17 UTC
A customer asked me to file this. When I have FLAC files with special (accented) characters in the filename, then the command in "convert.conf" fails when transcoding to MP3 (for wireless streaming.) I believe that a possible solution (it seems to be working) is to add single quotes around the $FILE$ in the command on line 99, to read: [flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- '$FILE$' | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ -v $BITRATE$ - - However, my perl knowledge is very limited so this might not be a good solution. Anyway, this is not the character-set issue mentioned on the forums; the same files play fine if I don't transcode them to mp3 (but my network isn't really good enough for that.)
This sounds like a duplicate of bug 10199 to me. Alan what do you think?
I don't know. I guess it could be but I'm not sure how the proposed fix would work in either the specific or the general case.
Steven: can you evaluate the patch proposed, to see if it would address this issue, and or possibly bug 10199.
We are now planning to make a 7.3.3 release. Please review your bugs (all marked open against 7.3.3) to see if they can be fixed in the next few weeks, or if they should be retargeted for 7.4 or future. Thanks!
Since there's now a planned 7.3.3 release, bugs which won't make the cut-off are being moved to the next target out. If you feel that this bug needs to be addressed more (or less) urgently than the 7.4 release, please cc chris@slimdevices.com and leave a comment in the bug to that effect so we can review it. Thanks.
For some reason Bugzilla did not change the target when I did this yesterday. Or maybe it was me. In either case, I'm trying it again.
I'm gonna close this one a a duplicate of bug 10199. If this is still an issue once that bug is closed please reopen with additional comments. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 10199 ***
Closing resolved bugs - if you feel this bug still exists please first re-test with the latest SW/FW version. If you are able to reproduce then feel free to reopen and attach new logs / steps to reproduce.
