v1.2.8 Beta 5: SMB share folder with blank space not quite solved yet

I could not wait for the official release of v1.2.8 of the firmware, so I took the liberty to download it from FreakTab. My primary interest was to start using SMB shares with blank spaces in their names. Unfortunately, this bug has not been solved yet. Yes, I can open and even play all the files within all types of SMB shares in the stock file manager. When I add a SMB share with a space in the name to the Favo\[u\]rite folder I get the message "Favor Success".

However, when I open the Favo\[u\]rite Folder, the SMB shares which have a space in the name, are shown as empty files.


Further more I have problems playing files from shared (SMB) PC2 folders in ZDMC. As my PC2 server is not recognized any more as a WORKGROUP device by ZDMC, I made an explicit link to my PC2 server in ZDMC, including an username and password. Within ZDMC I can access all shared PC2 folders and all the file within those folders. I can play all these files with the internal ZDMC player without any problem. However, when I play these files with the external player, I see for a short time the loading symbol before I'm back in the file list of ZDMC. This problem is not only the case with shares with a space in the name, but also for the shares without a space in the name. No problems with shares from the other device (HTPC). For the information of Zidoo I included the Source.xml of ZDMC:

Code:

PS
I used a \[u\] in pointing to the Favo\[u\]rite folder as the official spelling is favourite.
(the backslash before [ and ] is to prevent underlining of the text; no idea how to prevent underlining otherwise)

 

share folder with blank space is not good choice.. never, use the underscore "_" it's right, you have always some trouble with any player.

 

That should be solved by using [PLAIN] Favo[u]rite [/PLAIN]

 

On network protocol Linux blank space are different from Windows blank space, never use them if you intent to cross platform, Capital letter also are different. You should replace blank with _ like looun suggest.

 

Blank (space) in Network share not recommend and unstable.
