filepath and vlc0.8.5

[Mimiru]

Hi,

I'm under linux ...... and I'm using the telnet interface of vlc ......

My problem is that vlc cannot read files like :

"/var/vidéos/rep\ with\ space/myvideoñ.mpeg"

please ....... don't tell me that the telnet interface of vlc is unable to accept those paths.

help

Could you paste a full example command which you are trying to use ?

[Mimiru]

sure,

Platform : Debian sid with vlc 0.8.5

here is the line that I use (without the --daemon because the log system does not work at all .... even the syslog option does not work) :

Code: Select all

vlc --intf telnet -vvv --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 --logmode syslog --network-synchronisation --ttl 1 --sout-all --sout-keep

I'll pass for the messages of vlc boot

Then I connect to the telnet interface and type this to create a "broadcast" channel on a multicast ip :

Code: Select all

> new CanalNumerico broadcast mux mp2t output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=239.255.1.1,sap,name="CanalNumerico"} > setup CanalNumerico input '/var/vod/CanalNumerico/Nuéva carpeta/Videoñ.mpg' > setup CanalNumerico enabled > control CanalNumerico play

And here is the output of vlc :

Code: Select all

I play with escape character, with filename encoding etc etc .... nothing

without the folder "Nuéva carpeta" I've found a trick ......... I tell linux to store the filename in UTF-8 in a Latin-1 system .... weird char appears in the linux filesys ...... but vlc accept files with accent with this trick. without that, it doesn't accept the file ......

self compiled vlc or vlc thru debian-unstable : the same

[Mimiru]

no one has this trouble under linux and telnet interface ?

[Mimiru]

no one has used VLC under linux with the telnet interface and intend to load a file witch the path has space and accent ?

[Mimiru]

Please answer

[Mimiru]

Well, for all of those who are browsing for a solution for that case (witch is an obvious case in a worldwide project) ........ it seems there isn't any solutions.

So, instead of trying to solve the problem, I suggest to avoid it by forcing the filesystem to use "us-ascii" (or the ascii of 7 bits) for the file/folder names.

By using that stinky trick, you avoid any accent or special caracter to be stored ...... and will be replaced by a generic caracter (like "_").

It can be done thru the locales ..... or/and via samba.

Of course, this trick works only for roman alphabet systems.
