Description Liron Tal 2011-07-29 08:59:07 UTC 
Using the Dbus API, when I try to get a song property with the method getSongProperties() and the track's URI contains one of these characters- I get an error.

the error is:
    MYCODE.getSongProperties('myURI')

+ Trace 227935

  • File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/dbus/proxies.py", line 140 in __call__ 
    **keywords)
