Clementine can't play files with special characters

I saw Clementine can't play some mp3 files - it would just say "error loading file".
So I opened an mp3 from the terminal and found out that the problem was the characters in the file name.
For example, it wouldn't play "Schiller - Tired (mit Jaël).mp3" but works fine with "Schiller - Tired (mit Jael)"
Any ideas why?

Well...

  • JMF Can't play file with cyrillic characters

    Fairly self explanetory - JMF fails to load files or directories with cyrillic characters. It throws the following exception:

    JMF appears to turn all of the characters into ? marks as it cannot understand them. Is there some sort of workaround without renaming the files?Well, a few things... first off, JMF won't play your wma file anyway as it doesn't support WMA files.
    But you might try reversing the order of the slashes.
    IE..
    MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("file:/C:/Documents and Settings/drdanielfc/Desktop/DATscape/The Mad Heads/&#1053;&#1040;&#1044;&#1030;&#1071; &#1028;/06 &#1043;&#1088;&#1086;&#1096;&#1110;.wma");
    You might also try constructing your MediaLocator from a URL, instead of a String.
    IE...
    URL url = new URL("C:\Documents and Settings\drdanielfc\Desktop\DATscape\The Mad Heads\&#1053;&#1040;&#1044;&#1030;&#1071; &#1028;\06 &#1043;&#1088;&#1086;&#1096;&#1110;.wma");
    MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator(url);
    If those 2 suggestions don't work, nothing will. Also, test them with a WAV file since WMA isn't supported ;-)

  • Creating Text files with special characters

    I have a problem writing and then reading special characters in a text file. I am using FileWriter and FileReader and once I write (using FileWriter) in a file.txt many characters with ASCII code less than 31, I can not read them back using FileRead.

  • Mplayer can't play files with spaces in their name

    After scratching my head and reinstalling codecs several times without luck, and old memory resurfaced of this occuring before and I managed to solve the problem.
    The thing is that if you doubleclick a file in Nautilus, and said files has spaces in its name, mplayer won't be able to play it, and gives a very cryptic error message, ie "cannot play file a%20b.avi" if the name of the file is "a b.avi".
    The trick is mentioned in this thread -- you edit /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop and change 'Exec=gmplayer %U' to 'Exec=gmplayer %F'.
    The bug has been around forever, and hasn't been fixed yet. Perhaps the mplayer devs don't want to fix it. In any case, I would propose that either we fix this in the mplayer Arch package, or that someone more knowledgeable than I get in touch with the devs about it.
    Just a suggestion, but I think it's kind of important. It's really confusing to new users.

    In my opinion, it it's not arch's job to fix bugs from upstream, no matter if it's mplayer or gnome's fault. Of course there are exceptions, eg if a bug in a critical package hardlocks the whole system, or adds a huge security risk.
    I would like to belive that the general arch user is smart enough to find one of the 30 threads about this bug (or the entry on the bugtracker) and fix it themselves. Personaly I would put this in the same category as packages that don't have a .desktop file at all from upstream.
    Oh, and as a small sidenote: http://phraktured.net/patching-patching-patching.html

  • File Adapter write XML file with special characters

    Hi,
    I have a BPEL processes which use DB adapter to retrieve record and output in a XML document using File Adapter.
    In the table, some records contain these special characters - ">" , "<" , "." . I was expecting the file adapter will convert it to escape characters, but it didn't happen. it just put the same value back to the XML file, which cause other system to reject the file. Do anyone know how to resolve this ?
    The version of SOA is 10.1.3.4
    Thanks for the help.

    Edited by: user12018221 on May 25, 2011 1:48 PM

    one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
    <partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
    <property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
    <property name="validateXML">true</property>

  • Parsing BLOB (CSV file with special characters) into table

    Hello everyone,
    In my application, user uploads a CSV file (it is stored as BLOB), which is later read and parsed into table. The parsing engine is shown bellow...
    The problem is, that it won't read national characters as Ö, Ü etc., they simply dissapear.
    Is there any CSV parser that supports national characters? Or, said in other words - is it possible to read BLOB by characters (where characters can be Ö, Ü etc.)?

  • Replacing text in a text file with special characters

    Hi all,
    in my test text file i found an interesting issue, where i can't replace text that looks something like this "New Text Document - Copy (2).txt"
    (gc $logeps)|foreach{$_ -replace "$($file.name)",""}|Out-File $logeps
    the context of my $($file.name) is "New Text Document - Copy (2).txt"
    how can i escape the parentheses characters inside of a variable that i am passing?
    thanks

    That should work if you're running PowerShell 3.0 or later, but in older versions, you'd run into errors if you try to run .Replace on an array of strings.
    While I prefer the string .Replace method in this instance, for future reference, if you want to escape a literal string so it can be used in a regular expression, call the [regex]::Escape method:
    $pattern = [regex]::Escape($file.Name)
    (gc $logeps) -replace $pattern | Out-File $logeps

    You could try using Applescripts 'quoted form of' and let Applescript figure it out.
    ie:
    do shell script "curl -L " & DLLink & " -o " & quoted form of destFile
    see Technical Note TN2065, do shell script in AppleScript.

  • ITunes crashes on attempt to play media with foreign characters

    The media with foreign characters syncs with my iPhone okay, and will play without issue on it; just iTunes is unable to play said media on my computer, which is highly frustrating.
    I would be appreciative if someone has found and would share any work-around to this problem. Thanks.

    I still have no thorough concept on how I have solved this but I suppose if anyone else has encountered this issue I can share how I worked around it:
    I changed my windows system non-unicode locale back to its default (English UK).
    I then installed Microsoft AppLocale to handle the programs that would be affected.
    For experimental reasons I then set my iTunes executable to have Japanese locale through the AppLocale program.
    It now operates fine and will play files with foreign characters.
    Try it if you experience the problem's I've been having.

  • Problem figuring out the encoding for filenames with special characters

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but this does seem like an OS issue.
    I brought in a lot of mp3 and m3u files from a Windows machine to my new Mac. Some of the mp3 files have accented characters in their names, and these names appear in the m3u files. But if I add the m3u file to iTunes, it fails to recognize these names and so I lose all the mp3's with special characters in their names.
    I tried to fix this by grabbing the files name in Python, but that didn't work either!
    Here's an example: the file's name is "Voilà l'été.mp3"
    The m3u files says "Voil\xe0 l'\xe9t\xe9.mp3" -- this doesn't work.
    From os.listdir(), I get Voila\xcc\x80 l'e\xcc\x81te\xcc\x81.mp3", but sticking it in an m3u files doesn't work either. (Note that here the characters are encoded as unaccented letter + two byte code for the accent).
    When I try these strings from python, e.g. doing os.stat(), they both work; but iTunes doesn't understand any of them!
    I'd appreciate any hints on how to enter these names in the m3u file so that iTunes can read it. Thanks!

    I know nothing about "m3u" files and how iTunes interprets the file names in them, but if it is not a relative/absolute path problem, then how about just putting the raw file names (not the ones with backslash escape) in m3u file? For example, just put
    Voilà l'été.mp3
    in m3u?
    As for Unicode encoding, HFS+ file system uses the "decomposed form" for accented characters. This means, as you write, à is hex "61 cc 80" in UTF-8, i.e., "a + COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT". The pre-composed form is hex "c3 a0". But my experience is that in most cases both pre-composed and decomosed forms work at the user level (not at the lowest file system level).

  • Problem with special characteres

    Hi. I have a problem with java. I�m making an application that works with special characters and displays correctly on my local machine, as I use escape characters such as &igrave; for �. The problem is when I deploy the application on a unix machine. All of the special characters (�, �, �, etc) appear like a �?� (question mark). Any tips, please?
    Thanks in advance

Any tips, please?First step: read [this excellent introduction into Unicode|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html], it will give you the basics you need to solve this problem.
    How do you input and output those characters? Simply print them to the console? Or write them to a HTML file (since you mention &<something>; notation)?
    "?" is normally the result when you convert a String (which is always in UTF-16 encoding in Java) to an encoding that can't represent your characters (ASCII for example).

  • Empty datafile with special characters in name

    Hello all
    I'm having an issue with an empty datafile that is in recover mode.
    Previously the following has been successful :
    alter database create datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' as 'fully_qualified_file_name' ;
    recover datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' ;
    alter database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;
    However this time it doesnt work as I get errors :
    ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, data file, or temporary file
    Using the file id doesnt work either.
    When I created a control file trace I can see the datafile has special characters in the name :
    '/oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^?;^?'
    As it is empty, would it be possible to create anothr empty datafile
    using :
    alter database create datafile '/oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^?;^?'
    as '/oracle/PRD/spdata2/r3i_8/r3i.data8';
    then recover datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' ;
    alter database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;
    How do oracle commands cope with special characters?
    Thanks for your advice

    It should work using a file number as the source file definition and a new name for the new file. Works for me:orcl> alter database create datafile 7 as 'c:\tmp\newname.dbf';
    Database altered.

  • Unable to access files containing special characters (accents) on a SMB share

    I can't access some files on a SMB share.
    Those files have one thing in common, that is they contain accented characters (àèéìòù).
    I can't access them from finder, terminal, or other softwares.
    It works fine when accessing them from a Windows 7 client.
    How can I fix this issue?
    Is there some SMB option to specify the UTF8 encoding?
    In addition, when I create a file with such characters from my mac, the special character shows as ?? on a non-mac client.

    it turns out I had way more filenames with accented letters that worked well with MacOS X.
    the difference is subtle: those OS X didn't like were like a "composition" of two character (sorry, I don't know the encoding details), that is a vowel and a unicode special character that modifies the previous char adding an accent.
    I discovered this while renaming the files from a Windows client, by placing the cursor after "é" in "perché" and hitting backspace, it turned into "perche", and hitting backspace again deleted the "e", turning into "perch".
    so I fixed those few invalid filenames.
