uri: Check that gst_uri_from_string() and to_string() give the same result (1.63 KB, patch)

Description Marc Leeman 2016-09-21 10:04:06 UTC 
1. Create a GstUri from a string "file:///home/me/myfile" with gst_uri_from_string

2. Generate a string from the GstUri (gst_uri_to_string) and you will end up with
"file:/home/my/myfile". As far as I know, the latter is not a valid uri.

Workaround; use file://///home/me/myfile :-/

Or use file://home/me/myfile instead :) But yes, there's a bug here, it should consider the empty "hostname" and reconstruct that again later.
