Description raffo.he 2013-09-27 16:27:14 UTC
In saving playlists in .m3u format, the resulting file is saved in URL-encoded format. Spaces and non-ascii characters are escaped.

If I attemp to load this file on a computer running Amarok 2.7.1, it fails to find the files.

If I decode the escape sequences from the file, then amarok 2.7.1 can load the playlist correctly.
Amarok 2.8.0 can also load the playlist without escape sequences correctly.

Here is an example of the URL enceded play list:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:161,Redwood Tango Ensemble - Milonga de mis amores
eltangoysusinvitados/uninteresting/Redwood%20Tango%20Ensemble-Joaquin/01%20Milonga%20de%20mis%20amores.mp3
#EXTINF:169,Redwood Tango Ensemble - Silueta porteña
eltangoysusinvitados/uninteresting/Redwood%20Tango%20Ensemble-Joaquin/11%20Silueta%20porte%C3%B1a.mp3

Here is how I think it should have been saved:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:161,Redwood Tango Ensemble - Milonga de mis amores
eltangoysusinvitados/uninteresting/Redwood Tango Ensemble-Joaquin/01 Milonga de mis amores.mp3
#EXTINF:169,Redwood Tango Ensemble - Silueta porteña
eltangoysusinvitados/uninteresting/Redwood Tango Ensemble-Joaquin/11 Silueta porteña.mp3

How can it be configured so the playlist is not save in URL-encoded format?
