Hi -- I tried searching for posts related to this, but came up empty.
If i ask the server to play a track whose name contains an ascii(duplicated, for some reason) apostrophe, the notifications I get from the "listen" command aren't consistent in their percent-encodings and are in some cases double-encoded. Here's an example. The track I'm playing is Code: -------------------- /opt/music/all/Alison_Krauss-I've_Got_That_Old_Feeling/01-I've_Got_That_Old_Feeling.mp3 -------------------- There are two apostrophe characters, in the two instances of "I've". I use the "playlist play" command, directed at the squeezelite player named "den". The pathname is fully percent-encoded, so the apostrophes are now %27. The server sends back two (well, three, actually -- the second is duplicated for some reason) notifications -- one for the "playlist play" command, and the other one for "open file". The "playlist play" notification contains raw apostrophes. That may well be legal, but it's a little surprising. Shouldn't they be encoded? The "open file" notification goes to the other extreme, and returns the apostrophes as %2527, which is an encoded version of %27, which is itself an encoded apostrophe. In other words, the string in the "open file" notification that was encoded for reply already contained encoded apostrophe characters.

It depends on being able to parse the pathname from the "open file" notification. My workaround is obviously to decode the path, and then, if the path still contains the pattern "%[0-9A-F][0-9A-F]", decode it again. This is unlikely to fail, but it would, of course, if I had a track with "%AB" (or other digits) in the name. I used to be on the developer list, but haven't been for some time. I could ask about this there, but perhaps someone here will have an insight into this -- I think it's pretty clearly a bug.
