Problem with podcasts: Invalid character in name

Postby hulmgulm » Sat Dec 17, 2011 7:49 pm

Hi,

I'd like Subsonic to download the following podcast: http://www.swr3.de/export/podcast/Das-S ... /index.xml

It's name is "Das SWR3-Topthema | SWR3.de". As there is a pipe symbol in the name, subsonic cannot download it as a pipe is not allowed in a directory name: "java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create directory e:\music\Podcast\Das SWR3-Topthema | SWR3.de". It would be great if some sort of filter could get implemented.

Thank you!

I have this same problem, a podcast I listen to uses the pipe in the podcast title and therefore is an illegal directory name. There should be a way to edit the podcast name and/or destination directory to get around this.

SS needs to have some auto-substitution rules built in eg: any illegal character should be replaced with a "-"

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.
