Description mrhohenhiem 2015-12-03 01:38:08 UTC

If you try to play a file that contains a '#' in its filename, Dragon Player will open it up and show its filename in the status bar on the bottom, but it will not play the video: it just shows the idle-equalizer-waves-animation-thing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rename a video file (I've only tested with webm and mp4) to include a '#' (pound sign or hash).
2. Open it with Dragon Player.

Actual Results:  
The file opens and its filename is shown in the status bar on the bottom, but the video doesn't play: only the idle-equalizer-waves-animation-thing is displayed.

Expected Results:  
The video should have played when the file was opened.

Version: 15.08.2
(This wasn't an option in the version picker for some reason.)

fix double encoding problem with MRLs

QUrl::from* can auto-encode characters such as #, toString will not
automatically decode again. This results in a double encoding since
MRL always encodes according to phonon-gstreamer's expectations.
To avoid this use toLocalFile() for local paths as this returns decoded
paths which we can then percent encode correctly.
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
CHANGELOG: Fix playback of local files containing a hash (#) character
