HTML codes appearing in rendered album titles

[gustavmahler]

I noticed with version 9.1.4 2024-10-26 that HTML codes are sometimes appearing when rendering album titles.  Track titles and artist names appear to be fine, but single quotes and ampersands are being rendered with their HTML codes in the "albums by artist" list. Note in the third screenshot that an artist name with a single quote renders correctly in the album list, but the album title does not.  See attachments 1 ("Kill 'em All.png") and 2 ("Pride & Glory.png").

In the "now playing" bar the ampersand renders fine.  See attachment 3 ("Now playing.png").

In the playlist view, single quotes are rendered correctly.  See attachment 4 ("Playlist single quote.png").

However in the playlist view, with an ampersand the large album title renders fine, but the smaller one with the track info ("Track 1 * FLAC ...") contains the HTML code.  See attachment 5 ("Playlist ampersand.png").

Is this a bug, or could there be something wrong with my tags?

Very odd.

I have this Brubek album and it has single quote in the Album name and several track Titles have either single or double quotes and it renders fine everywhere in the WebUI.

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ metaflac --export-tags-to=- "/mnt/NAS/TRX-FLAC/Dave Brubeck/Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits/02 I'm In A Dancing Mood.flac"
ENCODER=X Lossless Decoder 20161007
TITLE=I'm In A Dancing Mood
ARTIST=Dave Brubeck
ALBUM=Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits
GENRE=Jazz
COMPOSER=Goodhart/M. SIGLER/Hoffman
ALBUMARTIST=Dave Brubeck
TRACKNUMBER=2
TRACKTOTAL=11
TOTALTRACKS=11
DISCNUMBER=1
DISCTOTAL=1
TOTALDISCS=1
DATE=1954

The --show-all-tags option does not exist in metaflac (the one that ships with moode) 

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ metaflac --show-all-tags
metaflac: unrecognized option `--show-all-tags'

Edit: not read correct...

Interesting.  Here's what I see in the page source:

Code:

<ul id="albumsList" class="albumslist">
   <li class="lib-entry active">
       <img loading="lazy" src="/imagesw/thmcache/15dd8802536d940fc30b504caa282c06.jpg">
       <div class="tag-cover-text">
           <span class="album-name-art">Pride &amp; Glory</span>
           <span class="artist-name-art">Pride & Glory</span>
           <span class="album-year"></span>
           <span class="album-comment"></span>
       </div>
   </li>
</ul>

Perhaps I should mention that the paths to those albums also contain single quotes and ampersands.  Could that be an issue?

Looks more like a bug. The & is appearing as text instead of being translated to &.

I'll investigate.

[Tim Curtis]

Looking at a similar album on my end with an & in the name and I'm not seeing a bug yet.

Blues Bop & Ballads
   

HTML showing the entity & which is translated correctly by the Browser in the screenshot above.

Code:

<li class="lib-entry active">
   <img loading="lazy" src="/imagesw/thmcache/8b641d5ac159d36b04aa7f38cd76f8c3.jpg">
   <div class="tag-cover-text">
       <span class="album-name-art">Blues Bop &amp; Ballads</span>
       <span class="artist-name-art">Scott Hamilton</span>
       <span class="album-year">(2006)</span><span class="album-comment"></span>
   </div>
   <div class="lib-encoded-at-notvisible">FLAC 16/44.1</div>
</li>

Browser console

Enter "filteredAlbums;" at the > prompt to show the contents of the array thats used to generate the HTML for the the Albums list.
   

Scroll down and expand the element.
It correctly shows "album: "Blues Bop & Ballads"

Here's what filteredAlbums contains:  Note the "&"

   

[gustavmahler]

Similarly for the "Kill 'em All" album, I see: ""Kill 'em All""

Very odd.

Zip up the album(s) and PM a download link to myself, @TheOldPresbyope and @Nutul. One of us will see of the issue can be reproduced.
