VLC doesn't play tracks with spaces in the name

Postby N0m4d » 02 Dec 2017 14:39

Hi,
my VLC player on Android 6.0.1 Kernel-Version 3.10.84-perf-g32c2004 doesn't play tracks with spaces in the name.
It throws an error with the name of track with all spaces encoded as %20 and says it can't play the song.
I'd love to get logs but I honestly don't know how to do this on this locked down android system.

Hi, you can enable in-app logging, in Settings -> Advanced -> Logs -> Start Recording
And then reproduce the bug and get the logs in this menu.

You can report Android bugs with logs on VideoLAN's GitLab https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/issues or VideoLAN's Trac.

Hello,

Are those local files? Do you play from the Video or the directory view?
