[Bug 215784] Re: VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name
I hit this bug again, and I would say it represents a major usability
problem for VLC, itself a prime desktop app.
VLC does a 'dumb' substitution of the '+' symbol with space in the
source, which breaks URL parsing; I expect this was added as a hack
previously, when apps didn't use '%20' to represent the space in an RFC-
compliant manner.
Fix is thus:

I can reconfirm the bug in Ubuntu Hardy. If you right click any avi file and select open with vlc for playing it gives an error cannot open the file even if the volume is mounted. The same file can be opened using vlc's menu. -- VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to meta-gnome2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
