TC Media url: Incorrectly Encoded url videopath
Posted: 2017-08-23, 10:06 UTC
Hi!
My setup is:
TC 2.80/2.81b7 + Lan Plugin
My data is:
Two identical mkv video files with the following names:
"The_hidden.mkv" and "The_hidden[111].mkv" located on my lan share
Test Scenario is:
1) Connect to the share from plugin, open share root folder
2) Try to "play (foreground)" both video files in VLC
Expected results:
Both files are opened and played
Actual Results:
File without '[',']' special symbols opened successfully
File with brackets failed to open
Little debug:
Opening url for file without brackets proceeds the following in logcat:
And finally (successful) opening "the brackets file" using the same approach (url streaming with webserver) from different application provides the following:
So the only difference between "fail" and "pass" cases is the URL path encoding passed to VLC:
"The_Hidden%5B111%5D.mkv" - in successful case
and
"The_Hidden[111].mkv" - in failed case
May this been fixed on TC side? VLC is one of the most popular players on market and brackets and other special character are quite common in media file names.[/quote]
