Bug - playlists with special chars in filename don't work

[WPWoodJr]

I have the following playlist, created with the Android app:

Code: Select all

c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\01 La Terre de Mon Grandpëre (My Grandfather's Land).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\02 Cajunization Blues.wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\03 Happy One-Step.wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\04 L'Amour Poisonné (Poison Love).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\05 La Reine de Coeur (The Queen of Hearts).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\06 Cubano Bayou.wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\07 Chanson Pour Tommy (Songs for Tommy).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\08 Zarico Boogie.wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\09 Recherche d'Acadie (In Search of Acadie).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\10 Les Nuits Maui (Maui Nights).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\11 JusqÝ la Nuit (Until the Night).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\12 Les Blues de Chaleur (Hot Blues).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\13 One-Step Choupique.wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\14 Atchafalaya Pipeline.wma

Three of the tracks do not appear in the playlist when loaded on Android:

Code: Select all

c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\01 La Terre de Mon Grandpëre (My Grandfather's Land).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\04 L'Amour Poisonné (Poison Love).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\11 JusqÝ la Nuit (Until the Night).wma


These are the only tracks with special characters in them. Is this a known issue? Any resolution planned?

I did some testing. If I save a playlist with special characters in the file name using Windows Media Player, it works in Android Subsonic. Here is the playlist as saved by Media Player:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,01 La Terre de Mon Grandpëre (My Grandfather's Land).wma
c:\users\Public\Music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\01 La Terre de Mon Grandpëre (My Grandfather's Land).wma

#EXTINF:0,02 Cajunization Blues.wma
c:\users\Public\Music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\02 Cajunization Blues.wma



Here is the playlist as saved by Android Subsonic, which does not work in Android Subsonic, nor in Windows Media Player - the first track is missing when you go to play the playlist:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\01 La Terre de Mon Grandpëre (My Grandfather's Land).wma
c:\users\public\music\WPW\Beausoleil\Cajunization\02 Cajunization Blues.wma

The #EXTINF tag seems to be the main difference.

Thoughts?

Note: I had to edit the WMP playlist to replace ..\ with c:\users\Public\Music\WPW\

The same problem will happen on Mac OS X version (tested with 4.4).

The tracks are saved correctly in the m3u files (with the accent) but when loaded on the web interface or on Android, these tracks are not visible.
There is nothing in the log about it.

I'm running into this same problem. As above, there's nothing in the logs about it, the tracks just don't appear when loaded from a playlist file.

Code: Select all

d:\shares\music\Andy Hunter°\Exodus\Andy Hunter° - Go.mp3

Though I hate to dredge up an old thread, I'd like to chime in that I am still noticing the exact issue.

I've seen discussion about problems loading/playing specific folders or tracks with special characters in them, but I'd like to highlight this discussion.

I also have a few sets of songs that can be accessed just fine on an item level, but refuse to show up in Subsonic playlists.

I (and apparently others :]) have been wondering about this issue for quite some time now: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... characters

Is there any simple solution that I can use on my end? Or is it a deeper issue?
