VLC crashes with VOD name containing % and /

Postby chemi » 19 Jan 2010 15:54

Hi, I am using VLC 1.0.3 and I was trying to integrate VLC VOD solution with home web.
When I create a VOD element named like: 24/Season%201/24%20S01E01.avi using rtsp:// protocol and I invoke it from a remote VLC client, VLC with VOD crashes and closes. Any idea? I searched the wiki and didn't find any naming restriction.

The reason I am using such "extrange" name is because I am using yamj to generate a HTML catalog of my media files, and as the media files are structured in the file system, I end up with a URL like this: rtsp://192.168.1.35/24/Season%201/24%20S01E01.avi

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Ok. After some more tests... the real problem is the % character. If the name includes that character VLC streaming the file will close.
How or where should I report a defect (in case you think this is an error and not a restriction)?

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.
