File Loading

[hwernera380]

Hi,

just_playback works flawlessly in nearly all instances.
I have come across a problem recently though.
Whenever I try to load a music file containing "special" characters (eg a single quote or some Korean characters) I get the following error message:
raise MiniaudioError(MA_RESULT_STR[ma_res])
just_playback.ma_result.MiniaudioError: MA_DOES_NOT_EXIST

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Olivier,

Could you post the filename you're having trouble with? just_playback uses utf-8 encoding and should be able to handle Korean characters. Maybe the path to your audio file is invalid ??

I just tried a file named '블랙 비틀즈.mp3', Korean for 'black beatles.mp3'. It works

Weird, I also have this issue. I input this path: C:\Users\user\Desktop 2\action-builder\input\Justice - Justice - Waters Of Nazareth - † (Official Audio).mp3
When I remove the unicode character (the cross) the error disappears. For my use case I have to remove unicode characters anyway but it's strange regardless...
