Public bug reported:
If I attempt to play a song whose file name has a special character in
it such as at sign (@) or a ampersand (&), the song does not play, and
the progress-bar does not move. The interface remains responsive until
you hit Next Track. At this point the interface becomes unresponsive and
you eventually have to terminate the application.
Two media files I have been able to reproduce the problem with are:
/home/drew/Music/Dane Cook/Retaliation Disc 2/06 Creepy Guy @ Work.wma
/home/drew/Music/Dane Cook/Harmful If Swallowed Disc 1/07 Fireman & Policeman &
Miniature Golf Course Security Guard.wma
Other .wma that do not have special characters in the file names play
just fine. I can also play these same two files fine using mplayer.
