.xspf playlist bug in 0.9.9

[sss]

Here is the way to repeat the problem (both in WIndows XP with SP3 and Vista with SP1):

1) Fire up vlc and display an empty playlist window.
2) Drag some video (or audio) files from Windows explorer into the playlist window.
3) Saved the playlist using .xspf format
4) Quit vlc and fire up a new one and then load the .xspf file saved in step 3) and all the title column is completely empy.

The problem is that there used to be a field of "<title>name of the song</title>" that looks like:

<track>
<location>...</location>
<title> ... </title>
<creator> ... </creator>
<duration>114866</duration>
<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
<vlc:id>0</vlc:id>
</extension>
</track>

But the new list saved by 0.9.9 looks like

<track>
<location>...</location>
<duration>210116</duration>
<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
<vlc:id>0</vlc:id>
</extension>
</track>

Thus when you reopen the playlist, the Title field is all blank. I don't know if this matters or not but in my case, all the file names are in unicode.

[VLC_help]

It works for me.

<title>1000 and 1</title>
<creator>01</creator>
<album>Pr</album>
<trackNum>3</trackNum>

and

<title>Violet Hill (Album Version)</title>
<creator>Coldplay</creator>
<annotation>5099921211454</annotation>
<duration>222670</duration>

Well, I am definitely not alone. At least two other users had similar problem:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57690&sid=225a0e0c ... 9d#p193574

I have yet to tried to see if it works for file names with all English characters. But, like I mentioned in my posting, that my file names contains Chinese/Japanese characters and it definitely failed on four different machines I tried. I just happened to click on a .xspf file I saved under 0.9.8a and was surprised to see that the filename (or Titile) showed up. So I investigated further to see what's the difference between the one that works and the ones that failed and give out detailed information hoping that it will help fixing the bug. Thanks.

At least Scandinavic letters work nicely. And yes, there is a bug. But we need a test case that can be replicated.

[sss]

I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same thing here. My problem is not that Title does not show in playlist window IF there is an entry of <title> ... </title> in the track record. The problem is that vlc 0.9.9 DOES NOT SAVE (or create ) that entry when saving a new playlist in .xspf form using the procedure I described in my first posting. I am sure if you edit the .xspf file manually and insert the <title> ... </title> for each track, it will show up next time you load the playlist. Is this what you meant by 'it works for me?' Or you just meant that you have the '<title> ... </title>' in your .xspf file and the Title shows up?

[VLC_help]

All the info I have pasted are from .xspf files that I have saved from VLC. So in my case the info is stored and loaded correctly.

[sss]

Hmm... this definitely does not work for me. I am using vlc 0.9.9 downloaded from VideoLAN website and I just try drag two video files into a blank vlc playlist window and save it. This time I do not have any non-English characters in the filename. Here is what it looks like:

-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">
<title>Playlist</title>
<location>file://C%3A%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CSSS%5Cdesktop%5Cfoo.xspf</location>
<trackList>
<track>
<location>file://C%3A%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CSSS%5CDesktop%5CSongs%5CMORI%20MASAKO%20%26%20HOSOKAWA%20TAKASHI%20WITH%20KEN%20NAOKO%20-%20MEDLEY.mp4</location>

<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">

</track>
</trackList>
<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
<vlc:item tid="0" />
<vlc:item tid="1" />
</extension>
</playlist>
-----------------

As you can see that no <title>...</title> fields were generated for both tracks (or filenames). This is very repeatable; i.e., the .xspf files saved by 0.9.9 never have this field while the .xspf files saved by 0.9.8a have. Thanks!

[VLC_help]

So this only happens with MP4 files?

[sss]

I don't know since .mp4 files are the only type I ever tried. Thanks.

[Dale3k21]

If I read correctly, then it seems like the same problem that brought me here. Save a playlist, close VLC, go to open the playlist again later and all the titles come up blank. I'm using AVI files and none of them are MP4. All my video titles are in format such as: Futurama - 022 Bicyclops Built for Two.avi
It never did this before I updated. Can be quite annoying since I watch my shows with VLC player and I can't ever find a specific episode. If a screenshot would help, I can upload one.

[VLC_help]

http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2701
should be fixed in 1.0.0

should be fixed in 1.0.0

Indeed! I just download the nightly built and test it. The Title column is no longer showed up blank! Thanks for opening up a ticket and get this bug fixed. Still there is a bug that has been there since 0.9.8a -- at the beginning of each video, there is a short period (1 second?) showing the file name of the video. If the file name contains Chinese/Japanese character, then those characters are shown as empty square as if vlc could not find the font to display them. But the same file name display fine in the playlist.

[VLC_help]

If the file name contains Chinese/Japanese character, then those characters are shown as empty square as if vlc could not find the font to display them.

Changing the subtitle font to international one should fix that.

[sss]

Thanks for the hint. Still I cannot get it to work. In Video -> Subtitle/OSD -> Text renderer, then in Font, I click on "Browse..." then go to C:\Windows\Fonts, I select the font, MS Gothic &MS PGothic &MS UI Gothic (True Type), I want and then click "Open", it always fall back to the browse window and asks me to choose a font again. Any idea? Thanks.

[VLC_help]

Default %windir%\Fonts behavior in Windows usually means that you have to copy+paste fonts to other directory before you can select them.

[sss]

Great! Now all letters are random patterns but a good sign -- it's just a matter of find the correct font file. Thank you very much for your help. Have a wonderful weekend.

[sss]

I found it -- "Ariel Unicode" font works! Thank you very much for your help. One more wish -- if there is a way to give a list of available fonts (like in Firefox or IE) for user to choose, that will be great. Not all users are hardy enough to even know where to look for font files.

[sss]

Hmm... the new nightly built has introduced a new bug. I took your advice and copy the font I want and point subtitle to use it. It works for couple days until I downloaded new nightly built and installed it this morning. Now whenever I play the playlist, a window pops up with the following error:

VLC can't recognize the input's format:
The format of 'C:\Documents and Settings\SSS\Desktop\ARIALUNI.TTF' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details.

I have not changed anything since last time I got it to work. So the only change is to download the new nightly built. I don't remember the version but it's the newest trunk available on May 7th. Thanks.

[VLC_help]

Could you open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) and do what ever causes the error message to come up and paste the errors here?

[sss]

Here you go (on Vista w/ SP2 and with "vlc-1.0.0pre2-20090507-2205-win32.exe" installed). Thanks.
