Song with "&" in filename won't sync.

[jdemby 0]

Title pretty much says it all. If I select to sync an album it works fine till it hits a track that has an & in the filename, then it hangs for a long time on that and tries to resume the entire sync job till it hits the file again entering a endless loop.

 

Info:

Android version: 5.1 (also occurs on 7.1)

App version: 2.9.07

Server: FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE

Server Version: 3.2.19

 

Emby log included

Nobody knows what this is? It shouldn't make and difference.. but it does.  

 

Here are some of my ideas off the top of my head:

 

Host uses an Apache reverse proxy, Apache is set to simply

   ProxyPass / https://**embyip**:8920/

   ProxyPassReverse / https://**embyip**:8920/

(however the device seems to be contacting the emby server directly in the logs apache reports no errors, this is done for lets encrypt cert)

Shell variable not quoted properly? (FreeBSD uses csh/sh not bash like linux)

File system path too long for FreeBSD? (max 88, this seems unlikely to me)

ffmpeg chokes on the file in some way?

 

I could just replace the file names in my library.. but that seems like a sloppy solution to me..

Hi, we will respond. Thank you for your patience.

hi @@jdemby, have you set a custom download path in the app, or have you left it blank (default) ? Thanks.

[Luke 39306]

@@jdemby, please try 2.9.11 on the open beta:

I am not able to reproduce this anymore. Please let me know if this helps. Thanks !

Thanks Luke, I will try it.

 

And yes it had storage set to a SD card. I will test both and get back to you shortly.

 

Edit:

 

Worked perfectly on 7.1 with default storage, going to try SD on 5.1

 

Works on 5.1 writing to SD card as well, it converts the char to _ but thats ok. Well done Emby team.
