Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-05-07 13:56:57 UTC 
Right, I can confirm this here. filesrc thinks it's an invalid URI if there's a # in there.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-05-07 13:59:07 UTC 
Actually this seems to be a bug in glib: g_filename_from_uri() fails on URIs that contain a "#"
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-05-07 14:05:21 UTC 
Right, file:///bla/bla/bl#/bla.mp3 is not a valid URI. The # needs to be escaped with %23 which should be done by applications before passing URIs to GStreamer. If it's passed as location to filesrc for example the # is handled correctly.

Closing this bug as NOTABUG
