Media Streamer - videos with space characters won't play!?
 
I installed Tversity Media server on my server, and "Media Streamer" on my N800, and the device finds the server, and i can browse the files and folders. The problem is that playing videos with a space character in the file name/folder path does not work. It will just say "bufering" and then "File not found".

It's weird though, that i can play audio files without problems, even with space characters in file name. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you modify the video and remove the spaces in the filename, refresh the folder via TVersity, (To ensure TVersity serves the renamed Video) Media Streamer plays the very same video OK?

You could rename "buckrogers.avi" and "skywalker.avi" to something else...

I haven't tried it, because rescanning would take hours, but i'm 95% sure the space character is the problem, because all videos without space plays fine, and none with space plays.

And i also read about some other person who had the same problem, but he didn't really get a solution.

I don't know how mediastreamer does this, and I don't know what protocol is used, but I'm still guessing that it's a kind of URI and if so the mediastreamer is supposed to encode spaces as %20, and that it fails to do so. Something along those lines, anyway.
