using an apostrophe in playlist title (with playlist plugin) causes flowplayer not to load

Posted: 2 weeks ago

I was creating a playlist with the playlist plugin, and one of my songs had an apostrophe in the title... the playlist plugin apparently does not like this.

heres the template i'm using...

<div class="derp">
    <div><a href="${url}">${title}</a></div>
</div>

and heres the playlist from the flowplayer config...

playlist: [
    { title : "Ain't Nobody", url   : 'aintnobody.mp3' },
    ...
]

(amongst other code and other playlist entries) causes the flowplayer element to show up all black (no player). Taking out the apostrophe makes everything run fine.

Oh, and another thing... the playlist plugin apparently doesn't work with only one playlist entry (still using templates in this case).

My guess is that it's a problem with the whole javascript templating thing you guys do.

I just tested the playlist with only one entry and it worked.

Looks like you have an extra comma at the end of this line 'aintnobody.mp3' }, <-

playlist: [ 
    { title: "Aint Nobody", url: 'aintnobody.mp3' }

]

As for the apostrophe, if php is inserting the title you may have to preg_replace the apostrophe. Its java specific not flowplayer in general. I think the object method would do the same thing though I haven't tested it so don't quote me on that.

The extra comma wasn't the issue... I had other playlist items afterwards. Also, wasn't using PHP. I tried using '&apos;' and others with the same result (still didn't work). I wound up creating the playlist manually.

Not sure why it wasn't not-working for you. I was able to reproduce reliably.

Regarding single entry only in the playlist, The install snippet in your first post is incomplete. Please post the full flowplayer install code your using.

Apostrophe: You could try searching the forums http://flowplayer.org/search.html?q=apostrophe

I would help more with the apostrophe but I'm walking out the door. I'll poke around more when I return.

this guy seems to have the same problem
http://flowplayer.org/forum/3/20389#post-27459

as i said, i wound up doing a 'manual' playlist a la..

<div id="playlist">
    <div href="a.mp3">AAA</div>
    <div href="b.mp3">BBB</div>
    <div href="aintnobody.mp3">Ain't Nobody</div>
    <div href="d.mp3">DDD</div>
</div>
and then..

$f("player").playlist("div#playlist");

This actually worked out better for me since I needed 2 playlists to link to the same Flowplayer, and it seems like taking the templating route would put the playlist all in one place.

Thanks for all your time and help.

Unfortunately, manual playlists aren't an option for me. This sucks. Boo.

I have the same issue with any type of apostrophe.
