we could try to utf8 encode the file names to avoid the issue... to try this, I would need FTP access to the site. can you send it to support@ joomlathat.com?

Hi Germinal, the hack you did in the "xspf.php" file fixes the firefox and IE problem, but then Chrome stops working. I've been trying to find a solution to this issue and I found this thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9975149/difference-firefox-chrome-when-encoding-umlauts

can you be a little bit more technical on what is causing this problem? is it because of encoding differences in firefox and chrome? I have a private web server, so any suggestion from apache hacks, to database hacks works for me..

thanks again.
Nelson

Germinal will you help me with this? this is the only hiccup that I have - for now

here is my problem. songs with Spanish characters play fine in the album page. here for example http://melodiasdeayer.com/j/3-jose-luis-perales/14-el-pregon if you click on the first song, the songs plays fine.

but if you open the song http://melodiasdeayer.com/j/3-jose-luis-perales/14-el-pregon/172-el-pregon it does not play... again this only happens with songs or albums with spanish characters on it.

to login to the site use:

username: guest

thanks man, I really appreciate your help.

hello Nelson,

no, it's not an "encoding difference" (the encoding is the same for all, only it looks like some browsers read it better than others...)

the problem you mention is a different thing, it's because on the individual song page we haven't encoded it... that's all.
however I can't see any song with an actual lfile in this album?...

your template looks familiar...

Hi Germinal, how do we encode the individual song page too?

Germi, you need to login to see the player. please use "guest" "guest" to test..

on file /components/com_muscol/views/song/view.html.php on line 65 you need to set this:

$js_songs_url[] = "songs_position_url[0] = \"".utf8_encode(MusColHelper::getSongFileURLslashes($song))."\";" ;

the strangest thing is that for me it works (without this code..) I can play it fine on Chrome...

you can play it in the song view? I don't know man, something screw up with my browser then.. because I added the code, and still does not play..

I could play it before, and also now...
you're in Chrome?

yes, I'm using chrome and firefox.. it works fine on Firefox now.. on Google Chrome it plays OK on the "Song view" but in the Album view is not working now.. here is the link to the album.. test with the first song with the tilde http://melodiasdeayer.com/j/3-jose-luis-perales/14-el-pregon

thanks man, I owe you a beer

OK. now you have write permissions..

Hi Germi, have you got a chance to look into this issue? if you are busy ts fine take you time, just don't forget about me

no problem Germi, enjoy your vacation, or whatever you're doing overseas

Hi Germi, welcome back from your vaca...

it works on Chrome now, but IE and firefox still have the issue..

Google Chrome works fine 100%.... Firefox plays the song fine on the album page, but not on the indvidual song page, IE is the same.

funciona bien en Firefox, y chrome ahora.. IE no funciona de ninguna forma.. estoy usando IE 10.

I can't test on Explorer, I don't have access to it. are you able to see if there's some JavaScript error showing up in the console?
