Description Kvikende 2009-07-06 19:02:22 UTC
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I am listening to Aphex Twin's song "ΔMi−1 = −∂Σn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1] + Fexti[[n−1]]" on the album Windowlicker.

When I try to play the song, it will skip it and begin to play the song below in the playlist.

If I change it's name in Amarok it still won't play so it isn't the tag but the file name that's causing troubles.

Its full name is "02 ∆Mᵢ⁻¹ = −∂ ∑ Dᵢ[n] [∑ Fⱼᵢ[n−1] + F extᵢ[n⁻¹]].mp3" and is tagged and renamed with the tool Picard which pulls the name from Musicbrainz.

I can play this file just fine with a recent phonon-xine backend.
Make sure you're using the phonon-xine backend and make sure it's updated.

Mikko, please define "recent"?  

Sadly, phonon hasn't made any releases lately (nor I'm I aware of any immediate plans to do so).

Well, I'm using phonon from trunk from Jun 20.
I know they solved the bug where filenames with # didn't play: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194889
Hm, actually you fixed it :D
So this file doesn't play for you?

Shrug, I tried copy-n-paste of the provided filename, and can't reproduce it here either, in fact.  thanks, and sorry.

I've pinged the reported in the downstream bug for more details,
