LibTags special character

UnitScan

I have a this filename:
"♥♫ Feels So Good (sonique Best Remix Extended Version) Music Song Video ❦ love romantic "

Usually, to extract the file information I use this code

        QString mediafile = playlist->currentMedia().canonicalUrl().toString();
        QString tmp = mediafile.left(8) == "file:///" ? mediafile.mid(8) : mediafile;
        TagLib::FileRef f(QFile::encodeName(tmp).constData());

This code works perfectly, only does not work when the file name contains special characters as above. I tried

QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8");

with no results.
Any solution?

Hi,

You'll likely should convert the path to use native separators. Qt uses the *nix notation for paths so e.g. on Windows, you would have to convert the forward slashes to backward.

The problem lies in the filename, not in his path

try replacing QFile::encodeName(tmp) with tmp.toUtf8()

also

QString mediafile = playlist->currentMedia().canonicalUrl().toString();
        QString tmp = mediafile.left(8) == "file:///" ? mediafile.mid(8) : mediafile;

can become

const QString tmp = playlist->currentMedia().canonicalUrl().toLocalFile();

[SOLVED]

QString mediafile = playlist->currentMedia().canonicalUrl().toString();
QString tmp = mediafile.left(8) == "file:///" ? mediafile.mid(8) : mediafile;
TagLib::FileRef f(reinterpret_cast<const wchar_t*>(tmp.utf16()), true);
