Bugzilla – Bug 7815
Foreign and special characters in folder names don't play
Last modified: 2009-07-31 10:19:31 UTC
This is on the nightly 18702. I can't get the web interface to play the tracks where I have "å,ä,ö" or characters like "&" or "'" in the folder name, trying to play from the Music folder page. They show up in the list but nothing happens when I click. If I change the folder name (but leave the special characters in the tags) the file will play.
Henry - a few more questions: - they show up, but don't play? - are you using importers like iTunes or MusicIP? - Are you using cue sheets or something? - have they been working in SC 7.0? Or in the 7.0.x branch? - what are the exact server details as found on Settings->Status? Also please set logging for player.source to debug, try to play such a song and upload the resulting server.log
Created attachment 3229 [details] working with umlauts Could you please provide the details from Settings->Status? This definitely works for me: just tested on a Windows XP box (see screenshot: umlaut and ' in the file path).
Michael notes that this may be related to transcoding, but is waiting for feedback from the user.
Henry - any news?
Michael, sorry i've been toooo busy here with work. Now, please tell me exactly what I should do to supply info, where shall I look, what shall I do.... Best wishes/Henry PS I realise when I start (by clicking the squeezecenter.exe file in the Server folder - a window opens up like in DOS....is this correct for the beta maybe?
> Now, please tell me exactly > what I should do to supply info, where shall I look, what shall I do.... Please see my second comment up the linked bug report page. Thanks!
Created attachment 3239 [details] status? Michael, This? see enclosed. ---H
> status? Thanks, yes, that's what I was asking for in the last question. What about the other four? - songs show up, but don't play? - are you using importers like iTunes or MusicIP? - Are you using cue sheets or something? - have they been working in SC 7.0? Or in the 7.0.x branch?
- songs show up, but don't play? YES. When I click on the album nothing happens, in the Music Folder view. - are you using importers like iTunes or MusicIP? NO - Are you using cue sheets or something? NO - have they been working in SC 7.0? Or in the 7.0.x branch? NO, I don't think so... And this is the first nightly I tried. Excuse me, I thought I had answered these. Best ---Henry
One more thing: could you please set logging for all scan.* options (Settings->Advanced->Logging) to debug and do a full wipe and rescan. Then upload the scanner.log to this bug report. Thanks!
Michael, Done but the web page that's supposed to show the report is just blank.... ----H
Please search "c:\documents and settings\all users" (or whatever the profile folder for your system is) for scanner.log. Is it still empty? What file format are you using?
For my own info: Michael thinks this may have something to do with the behavior of transcoding.
change 18822 - don't utf8 decode custom artwork file names (coverArt) You'll have to remove the custom artwork setting, restart SC and define it again. Please give it a try! Thanks.
Ouch, wrong bug...
Any update, Henry?
Henry - feel free to re-open this bug if you can still reproduce it with the latest nightly build. Thanks.
I have not been able to reproduce this in 7.1-21761, marking bug as verified
