ImageGrabLite and the ampersand

[ttfitz]

I recently had a television show where the title of the episode included an ampersand. All the files were renamed properly, but with the "&" in the title, the VideoReDo file would not load in VRD. After I went in and escaped it - "&" - it loaded fine.

Don't know how hard it might be to have IGL do this, but thought I should pass this info on.

Thanks.

Yes igL renames inside a vprj files but it is a straight text copy of the string. If it is just an xml file name vprj then I guess it needs to be xml encoded. I can contemplating dropping iGL with the next version of NextPVR but if I do update it I will make the fix.

I've accomplished this in the post processing script by using FART :eek: (Find And Replace Text).

Command:

Code:

F:/Utils/FART.exe "%~dpn1.VPrj" "& " "& "

Where %1 is the filename

JavaWiz, that's good but if I do fix it in iGL you will end up with &&amp. I will remember to put a warning out.

Yeah, I do some post processing on my vprj file already, and was going to add similar code to my routine.

Perfect, one less step in the process!

Thanks.

Martin, any chance you will be making this change to IGL? I've recently had to rebuild my machine due to a SSD drive failure, and did not have my scripts backed up. I am in the process of updating with this fix, however, I'll hold off if IGL will be updated. (also am moving my scripts to a backed up area off of the system drive).

I didn't test it, but this code should do what you want, I just used System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape(original_name) so it seems safe enough.

Thanks! I'll try it out.
