#74 Underscores in streamed files (Zinf 2.2.1 on XP )

[Anonymous]

I use Zinf 2.2.1 on XP and a MP3 server called GNUmp3d.
I noticed that any of my MP3's that have an underscore
in them will not stream. Instead I get the following
in my system log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 6/25/2003
Time: 9:17:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxx
Description:
The portio service failed to start due to the following
error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

I can right click on the stream and choose edit info,
copy and paste the url into a browser, choose open with
default application, and it plays fine so I don't
*think* its a URL issue (correct me if I am wrong;
maybe the browser translates something that Zinf doesn't.)

The URL is like:
http://xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx:8888/General/b/Bon%20Jovi/Slippery%20When%20Wet/03%5FLivin%27%20On%20A%20Prayer.mp3

The actual filename on the server is:
~/General/b/Bon Jovi/Slippery When Wet/03_Livin' On A
Prayer.mp3

Clicking the "Convert underscores to spaces in
filenames" does not make a difference,

Here is more information where I spoke with the author
of GNUmp3d wondering if it was the mp3 server...

Keep up the great work!

Hello,

I have the same problem running stable 2.2.5 compiled on
slackware 10.0 with '[' and ']' chars, which are encoded in
%5B and %5D. Indeed, zinf seems to convert common %'ed codes
like %20 but not all the %xx. The music server is run by
myself, and it gives me these errors :

"
File does not exist: /var/www/htdocs/zik//%5BBeaut%E9s
Vulgaires%5D Asile de Flou/01.L'Asile de Flou.mp3
"

whereas the real path is "/var/www/htdocs/zik/[Beautés
Vulgaires] Asile de Flou/01.L'Asile de Flou.mp3"

An you can see %20 are converted, but not the %5B, %5D, and
even %E9. A quick view in the sources makes me think it
convert only the %20... but I'm not an expert in c++. Please
fix this, because of this bug I finnaly came back to xmms...

Bye, gillux
