Bugzilla – Bug 17422
Artist, Album and Genre Favorites with non-latin characters don't work from Player UI

Artist, Album and Genre Favorites with non-latin characters in the URL don't work if played from the player UI. They always give a playlist of "Nothing". Example: <outline URL="db:album.title=Les%20beaux%20d%C3%A9g%C3%A2ts" icon="music/3f05681e/cover.png" text="Les beaux dégâts" type="audio" /> They play fine if played from the web interface.
I can confirm this in 7.6.1 r33110, I see the same thing with an artist name which contains the swedish character "Å" and "ö". No errors in the log but the favorites.opml contains: <outline URL="db:contributor.name=CajsaStina%20%C3%85kerstr%C3%B6m" icon="html/images/artists.png" text="CajsaStina Åkerström" type="audio" />
What kind of player are you seeing this with? I see this only after a server restart. Before the restart they would work fine. Can you confirm? 7.7.2/r33816
Created attachment 7621 [details] Some strange code seemingly fixing this issue... Andy/Alan - I'd be happy to get your comment on this. Thanks!

Patch was fine, I couldn't find any other way to do it either. I think it's probably related to the way the string is handled by URI::Escape.
