Bug Description

Upon playing audio-files containing the character "%" in the file-name, the app freezes and needs to be restarted. On some attempts, the app crashed but didn't repport any error. Renaming files containing "%" in the file manager fixes the problem.

Sometimes the app doesn't freeze nor crashes, but playback stops working as soon as a file with such characters is loaded.

Happens on a BQ E5 HD, upgraded from 14.10 to 15.09
(Came with ubuntu preinstalled)

Hi Set, thanks for helping to make Ubuntu better by filing this bug. This issue seems similar to bug #1469863 and other issues we've seen in the past. I'm adding the media-hub package as affected for the time being.

Hi Victor! It looks indeed as it is the same bug, sorry: it slipped me by. I did search the existing bugs, but obviously not well enough. Will try harder next time! :) I'm still very blue to the Touch system, hence i couldn't figure out which package was affected. Thank you for your time!
