Total Commander

There is a problem playing song in a directory beginning with a number sign (#)

For instance: /storage/extSdCard/#Songs/Norah Jones/Lovesick Blues.mp3

The following error message will be shown:
"FileNotFoundException /storage/extSdCard: open faild: EISDIR (is a directory)"

Any Ideas?
(Well I know the best way is to change the directory name.)

It could be that the Android media player cannot handle the special character #. Can you try the same on internal SD-Card, please?

Well, I copy a mp3 File to: /storage/sdcard/#songs

Then I tried to start this song.

Same message: "FileNotFoundException /storage/sdcard: open faild: EISDIR (Is a directory)"

Playing the mp3 with MortPlayer, Winamp, VLC or internal Sound-Player works fine.

Sorry, no idea - I will have to check this in the debugger. But I don't currently see any reason why it would fail.

Tried today TC 4 Android 2.02beta2. That didn't solve the problem.

Sorry, your report was too late for beta 2, I released it on the same day as you sent the report.

Maybe beta 3 will it fix

Beta 3 solves the problem!!

Thx

Yes, the problem was that the name is passed to the player as an URL, and the # sign has a special meaning in URLs.
