Transcoding issue with " in id3 tag?

Postby pha9992001 » Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:04 am

There seems to be an issue with quotes in the id3 tags when trying to transcode.

I get the following in the log:
subsonic\transcode\lame: excess arg

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I ran into this issue again. I have songs by an artist named Royce da 5'9", and when the tracks play fine as long as they aren't being transcoded. When trying to transcode I get the following error in the log:

(c:\subsonic\transcode\lame) c:\subsonic\transcode\lame: excess arg

This seems like an issue with the quote in the artist name.

Anyone run into this?

Yep I did a quick test and it doesnt like the double quote in the artist name - it appears if lame is interpreting it as a command option.
Thanks for highlighting this. :mrgreen:

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.
