#50 Failed to downlaod because of character encoding error
Ok guys I have something interesting related to all
the bugs failed to download... cannot encode character
at position xyz... downloading status won't change to
downloaded. I made a lot of test with home made feeds
and french sites feeds. I noticed that the bug always
happen when the channel's title in the rss file
contains accentuated characters. The way iPodder acts
let me think that the bug is not generalized in all
the app because it creates the directory in windows
using the channel's title just fine and it downloads
the files just fine but i don't know why, it doesn't
seem to get the files properly after then because of
the accentuated characters in the directory name.
This is a majotr bugs because many french feeds
contains those characters in their title. And I'm
pretty sure I never had this bug with versions prior
to 2.2 so someone should fix it very quickly please.
Here is the error I get in the log file :
DownloadJob 30611248 '11sept-20060906-1656.m4v'
reports: An error occurred; aborting.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ipodder\core.pyc", line 370, in run
File "ipodder\history.pyc", line 447, in save_encinfo
File "ipodder\history.pyc", line 23, in mkfilenamekey
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character u'\xe9' in position 98: ordinal not in range
(128)
I think a lot of people gets this kind of error using
juice and this is bad very bad.
thanks
