Bug in xspf playlist

Postby jahwoto » 08 Aug 2009 14:45

Bug in xspf playlist.
When saving a playlist with the following character:
'
It's saved as:
%27

And spaces are being replaced with %20.
Don't know if the spaces are a bug or not.
Know about the compatibility issues with some platforms with spaces
but I would at least want to save stuff with spaces correctly.

It's UTF-8 and on Windows Vista.
Please allow users of newer platforms to use the characters correctly.

This is the normal behavior, not a bug.
XML is not safe w.r.t. spaces - we cannot put then without some escape mechanism.
