Full Version: Can't view zipped video if semicolon in archive
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
When I'm in files view and clicking a zip archive that has a subdirectory with a semicolon in its name, I see two identically named directories instead of one. Both of these directories shows up as empty so there is no way to access the video.

To reproduce, create a directory with a semicolon in the name. Put a video file in the directory and add it to a zip file. Then try to open the zip file from files view in Kodi.

Code:
$ mkdir "semi; colon"
$ cp Wildlife.wmv semi\;\ colon/
$ 7z a -tzip -mx0 semicolon.zip semi\;\ colon/

I get the same behaviour in both OpenELEC on RPi and 15.0-RC1 Linux x86 32-bit.
Already fixed in master. Note, since it touches a critical code area, it's not yet pushed to Isengard branch. Details @ https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7326
Great! So I can test the fix with tonight’s Milhouse build? http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231092
Where and what should I look for to find out when and if it is pushed to Isengard?

I think so since it's based on master branch.. no guarantee though Smile We have to get some testers on it before we can prepare the backport. I'll keep you posted when it's in for v15.

Yes, it's merged to master and Milhouse builds from master, so it will be there.

It will show up here with a "Backport" tag and using branch "xbmc:Isengard".
Browsing zip files is working with Milhouse build #0703 and so far the fix doesn't seem to break anything else.

Great, thanks for reporting back.
