STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. have a video with any name below: video (123).mp4 video [123].mp4 video {123}.mp4 2. play the video with a player usable with Media Player widget 3. click on the Media Player widget and observe the displayed file name OBSERVED RESULT the widget displays the file name incorrectly. Please watch the attached screen recording. EXPECTED RESULT correct file name SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.7-061507-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

I can reproduce this on git-master with similarly named webm videos when played on VLC
Can confirm that VLC produces this behavior. Anyway, other players seem to work fine. Played .mp4 files with these names with Firefox and the names are displayed correct.
I think it's not problem with the widget. VLC sends this directly as meta-data over the dbus (see below). One could implement that the strings with URLEncoding are decoded properly, but it isn't necessarily a bug. dict entry( string "Metadata" variant array [ dict entry( string "mpris:trackid" variant object path "/org/videolan/vlc/playlist/3" ) dict entry( string "xesam:url" variant string "file:///home/andreas/Music/audio%28123%29.mp4" ) dict entry( string "vlc:time" variant uint32 3696 ) dict entry( string "mpris:length" variant int64 3696082721 ) dict entry( string "vlc:length" variant int64 3696082 ) dict entry( string "vlc:publisher" variant int32 5 ) ] )
Setting this back to confirmed
