Hi Severino,

I am trying to create a playlist-file (wpl or pdj) for using with the ADJ component, but I noticed that, when adding a filename with an &-sign in the filename, the file is not found by the control and removed from the playlist.
When manually creating a playlist with the demo application and saving the playlist I notice that the &-sign is saved as &
Is there a list what chars needs to be converted to html entries (e.g. the space is NOT converted to  )

Best regards

Hello Patrick,

the problem is not related to HTML but to XML, indeed both playlist formats you mentioned are based upon XML language and there are special characters that cannot be manually entered for pathnames and/or attributes values because of their special meaning:

< must be replaced with &lt;
> must be replaced with &gt;
& must be replaced with &amp;
"  must be replaced with &quot;
'  must be replaced with &apos;

Hope this helps

Kind Regards
