[Bug 215784] Re: VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name
This patch is not relevant in the new version; the new URL handling doesn't special-case the '+' symbol like it did (brokenly) previously. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 215784] Re: VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name
Upstream removed affected code due to a function duplication (see http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=6b5014ade2790fa8aa9dae1205e38b755525162b). Is it still relevant with newer versions? ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: In Progress = Incomplete -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 215784] Re: VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name
Since this bug has been filed and confirmed, 0.9.x has been introduced in Intrepid. Does this release resolve the issue? As for Hardy, I agree this is a bug that should be fixed particularly since the fix is so simple. However, the above patch needs to be reformatted as a StableReleaseUpdate: (1) The target should be against hardy-proposed with a clearly-worded concise description of the bug fixed, along with a (LP: 123456) link back to this bug. (2) The patch should use the native patch system in the VLC package. If you are interested in making those changes for sponsorship, please do so. If you aren't, please let us know so someone else can take a stab at it.

Testing the debdiff, it corrects the behaviour of URL parsing with a '+' sign.

Fantastic to have the debdiff too...how do we get a MOTU developer to review and, if it looks good, upload an updated package? -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 215784] Re: VLC does not open files with Plus-signs in name
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).
