Description Giorgos Pallas 2007-09-22 09:48:47 UTC

Version:           0.8.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Easy to explain and reproduce bug:

You have a DVD movie .iso file lying around, let's say Black_Dhalia.iso . You right click and select Open With... Kaffeine. The DVD starts just fine. BUT, if the iso file name contains spaces (rename Black_Dhalia.iso to Black Dhalia.iso) you get the following error:

xine message - Kaffeine player

The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/media/teras/tainies/Black%20Dhalia.iso)

Something in the process replaces spaces with %20 (html style) and of course the thing fails...

Just a thought -- similar bug occurred in KPdf. Wouldn't it better to handle filenames in kdelibs, not at app level (since it seems it is a problem).

no, this is a bug in xine-lib (they want urls so we provide them urls) which has been fixed [1]

So Christoph, you mean that it will appear fixed in some time in the debian testing debs... OK!
