Bug ID: 479220
Summary: Playlist from Local Collection: Paths with questioin
mark character won't play
Classification: Applications
Product: amarok
Version: 2.9.71
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Playback
Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org
Reporter: mail+...@branleb.de
Target Milestone: kf5
SUMMARY
If you got a file with a question mark in the path / file name, it won't play.
Remove the question mark and the rescan the local collection an now the file
will play.
Note: I'd suspect something with failed globbing or character escaping or
lookup/strip of assumed illegal characters (which are of course allowed and
usable in some filesystems, in my case xfs and therefore not "illegal") beeing
the cause of this. The file is added correctly to the collection and meta tag
editing etc works, including from the context menu of the playlist. Just the
playback of such a file won't work.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Folder with a question mark character in the folder name in your
local collection folder
2. Put a music file into it
3. Rescan the Local Collection
4. Search the collection for the track add it the active playlist
5. double click the file / Play the file
OBSERVED RESULT
Playback won't start
EXPECTED RESULT
Playback of the selected file should start
