Solved: Filenames with quotation marks cause MPD to fail
#11
Hi Kent,


first of all, sorry for that weird band name, which I find to be odd as well. But they make (made?) some very nice music indeed.

I uploaded the file XhXeXreX - but it got me thinking, that file name has a ", maybe mpd (or moode) doesn't like that, so I renamed the file, clicked "update library" and now something else has happened: There's a couple of tracks with "unknown" genre and 2unknown2 artist. So maybe mpd stumbles over quotes in filenames.

A quick 
Code:
find /media/ -name "*\"*"

indeed shows a couple more files, some swing, some blues.
Code:
/media/Intenso/Compilations/The Blues Story/3-4-03 - Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown - Blues Power.mp3
/media/Intenso/Compilations/The Blues Story/3-4-09 - Bobby "Blue" Bland - I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me).mp3
/media/Intenso/Compilations/The Blues Story/4-4-06 - Bobby "Blue" Bland - Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City.mp3
/media/Intenso/Compilations/The Fabulous Big Band Era/The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 - 3-10 - Take the "A" Train.mp3
/media/Verbatim/S/Sidney Bechet/Compilations/The Fabulous Big Band Era/The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 - 3-10 - Take the "A" Train.mp3

 I shall investigate this further as well. Thanks a million for you help already, I feel we're on a good track here Big Grin

(The downside is I always have to shutdown moode because I never manage to unmount the drives because "the resource is busy"..)

I also feel like I have to apologise for my writing, which is very much stream of consciousness and all over the place, as I am during this while technically "at work" ...
