Problem converting local file (wrong MRL)

Postby javilete » 02 Mar 2009 17:26

I'm trying to 'copy partially' a local file with Convert/Save menu.
Then, I select file (/home/javi/video.wmv) and click in 'More Options' to put 1551 in Start Time (the part i want save starts in 25:51), and click in Convert/Save.
Then, I specify the output file: out.asf, and select an empty Profile (without Audio and Video conversion, due I only want copy).
The generate stream output string looks like:
:sout=#std{access="file",mux,dst="/home/javi/out.asf"}

then vlc gets the following errors:
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "/home/javi/video.wmv :start-time=1551".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL '/home/javi/video.wmv :start-time=1551'. Check the log for details.

tested on:
VLC 1.0.0 git (2009-02-24) x86_64 from openSuse 11.1 VLC repo.

what is wrong? I try with start-time=30 and it does the same.. :(

This looks like a bug in the UI code, so no wonder it's also in 0.9.8. Copy the string to the command line; that should work.
