[Gnump3d-devel] Changes and bug-fixes

[François Wautier]

Hi,

This is my first post to this list so please bear with me.

About a month ago, I started to use GNUmp3d (v 1.74 2004/05/18). Great stuff! 
I liked it but I found a number of issues with it.  

The main issue (for me) was that I could not get all my French, Brazilian, 
Japanese,...   titles/Artists to display correctly. 

Rather than complain and even though I never really used Perl, I  decided to 
solve the problem myself. It seems now to be mostly OK for me .. which means

 - I only modified and tested the Ogg bits. Yet many of the mods are general
   and support for MP3 would probably only require to modify mp3info.pm

 - I used HTML::Entites for encoding the directory/file names

 - The cache file now contains an HTML encoded version of the tags
  e.g. François instead of François

 - I used "recode" to translate UTF-8 tags to HTML entities. (In 
   oggtagreader.pm)

 - I only tested the server under Linux (I used various browsers: Konqueror,
   Mozilla under Linux and Netscape and IE under XP(sive))


I also found 2 minor bugs 
 - URL were not encoded when playing random music. It was
          mostly innocuous, but it was preventing files containing a "?" to be
   played under XMMS

 - In one page a "$HEADER" was not being filtered out... Could have been in
    the "LaFrere" theme

So here is my question... Are you guys interested in my mods? If so what shall 
I do? 

Cheers,
 François
