Subject: Filenames with & character wrongly decoded from playlist

Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:41:06 +0200

Package: audacious
Version: 2.1-1+b1
Severity: normal


Audacious stores a default playlist in xspf format, which is based
on XML. Ampersand characters in filenames though properly escaped,
eg this line:

<location>file:///.../Teenage%20Jesus%20&amp;%20The%20Jerks%20-%20Orphans.m4a</location>

are not read back accordingly: The track plays on first adding
the file, but when closing the application and reopening, the
filename is read from the playlist and wrongly decoded:

** (audacious2:7545): WARNING **: Could not open file:///.../Teenage%20Jesus%20%20The%20Jerks%20-%20Orphans.m4a for reading or writing: Error opening file: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Unable to read from file:///.../Teenage%20Jesus%20%20The%20Jerks%20-%20Orphans.m4a, giving up.

BUG: The "&amp;" code is just dropped from the searchpath, while
"&" is a valid character in a filename.

I can't reproduce this with current upstream version. Since I've
rewritten a lot of the playlist code between 2.1 and upstream, I suspect
the problem may already have been fixed. Can you please try this version
and let me know if that is so?

Hello John,

Further research shows me that while on creation of a playlist all
files are added to the list correctly, when I restart audacious
and close it again, SOME of them are written back without the
"&amp", both with stock debian and your /opt...audacious.

Steps to reproduce: start application, delete playlist, add a
folder *) with several files with "&" (lots of group names have
that), close application, "cp playlist.xspf playlist.xsp", relaunch
application: SOME, but NOT ALL, filenames get stripped of the "&":
"diff playlist.xsp playlist.xspf". I do not see a pattern in it.

*) that does not work with the version you provided. This one
crashes when a folder is added, I looked with gdb but did not
find out why, I only know its happening while reading the dir.

Package: audacious
Severity: normal

As of today, I can no longer reproduce the bug:

$ audacious2 -v
Audacious 2.1.0 [UNSUPPORTED VERSION]

I do not know, whether there actually have been any updates
since then.  Anyways, please close.

Hello Peter,

A while back you said you were also seeing this problem of "&"
characters not being saved to Audacious's playlist.  I wasn't able to
reproduce the problem then and can't now.  Since then, "hungerbug" has
said that the problem went away for him, but without any update of
Audacious.  Based on that and the report of a Gentoo user upstream, I am
beginning to think this is a bug in libxml2 in certain versions or under
certain circumstances.  Do you still see the problem, or have any if
this might be the case?

Peace,
John Lindgren

Oh, and the upstream report is:

Closing as requested.  (I suspect a libxml bug was causing this and has
since been fixed.)
