Version: 2.1 (using KDE 4.2.4) Compiler: gcc-4.3.3 Gentoo package gcc-4.3.3-r2 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I have several files with names like "Symphony #5 1st Movement.mp3" that Amarok refuses to play. The files get added to the collection database just fine, and I can add them to the playlist (either using the collection or the file browser), but when trying to play them, nothing happens. When I rename such a file, e.g. replacing "#" with "No.", everything works; similarly, when I add a "#" to the name of a file, Amarok won't play it anymore. This leads me to conclude that the character "#" is the problem. Steps to reproduce: Rename an audio file "something.mp3" to "something#.mp3" and (try to) play it with Amarok. Additional test done to rule out a problem with the filesystem: I tested this both with files on an NTFS partition (ntfs-3g driver) and on my JFS home partition, in both cases the problem is exactly the same. Previous versions: Amarok 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 exhibited the same behaviour; I'm not sure about versions before that.
Same here, happens with dragonplayer too. It's a bug in the phonon-xine backend *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 194889 ***
