Songs with strange characters make rhythmbox crash or are ignored
Last modified: 2006-03-23 04:36:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: Songs with strange characters (question mark, ampersand) in the filename cause rhythmbox problems. Sometimes the songs will not be added to the playlist, and other times they will cause rhythmbox to crash when viewing the playlist. Steps to reproduce: 1. Get a file with a strange character somewhere in the path (? and & confirmed to cause problems) 2. Allow rhythmbox to import it into the library 3. Try to add it to a playlist 4. Watch the fireworks Actual results: Rhythmbox will either not add the song to the playlist, or will crash upong trying to view the playlist. Expected results: The song to be correctly added. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: No.
This *should* be fixed in CVS. Please re-open if you can reproduce it in CVS HEAD. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 333998 ***
