Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: audacious
the error:
Unable to read from
file:///media/music/Gamma%20Ray/Singles%20%20EPs/(1997)%20Valley%20of%20the%20Kings/Gamma%20Ray%20-%2003%20Watcher%20in%20the%20Sky%20(Iron%20Savior%20Version).mp3,
giving up.
How to reproduce:
1. add any file to the playlist with an ampersand in the pathname.
2. Save as default list.
3. Play the file -> that works
4. exit audacious
5. start audacious
6. play the file again -> audacious starts spewing the error & uses all cpu
recources.
The entry in the playlist.xspf:
<location>file:///media/music/Gamma%20Ray/Singles%20&%20EPs/(1997)%20Valley%20of%20the%20Kings/Gamma%20Ray%20-%2003%20Watcher%20in%20the%20Sky%20(Iron%20Savior%20Version).mp3</location>
The character in the filename which isn't listed in the entry is an
ampersand(&-character)
When did it start:
After updating audacious to the latest backported version in gutsy
Which versions are those:
audacious 1.4.5-1ubuntu1~gutsy1
audacious-plugins 1.4.4-1ubuntu1~gutsy1
audacious-plugins-extra 1.4.4-1ubuntu1~gutsy1
audacious-plugins-ugly 1.3.0-1
libaudacious5 1.3.2-4
libaudclient1 1.4.5-1ubuntu-1~gutsy1
libaudid3tag1 1.4.5-1ubuntu-1~gutsy1
probable cause:
audacious does not save the character in its playlists, maybe compiled with a
wrong flag?(i'm just guessing here, I'm no developer or maintainer) or wrong
encoding on my install of gutsy or in audacious?
solution:
1. don't use &'s in filepaths
2. do ??? to fix audacious
