http interface cannot play mrl with # in the path
Posted: 08 Oct 2009 13:53
I am testing out some automation using the http interface for vlc (1.0.2).
My music folder structure is somewhat like this:
music/#/10,000 Maniacs/Album/Song.mp3
music/a/abc/album/song.mp3
When I add a track from one of the artists in the # tree, vlc goes off and tries to add all of my music to the current playlist. It doesn't matter if I send the # as raw text or as %23. It seems that the parser is truncating the mrl at the # character after decoding the http encoding in the name and then trying to expand the playlist to be the contents of the folder music/.
Is there a way I can specify in the playlist_add that these are explicit filenames and they should not be truncated?
