Clip+ and Gpodder.m3u skipping certain podcasts

[sportscrazed2]

Tried this on anything but ipod but they aren't responding.  I have a rockboxed clip+ running rockbox version 3.9.1.  I have it connected via msc mode in ubuntu 11.10.  It appears to be the same podcast feed as last time it happened.   This is very annoying since I use this feature for long car rides and I can't be navigating rockbox at 70mph.  Here is the text of m3u file.   

Code: [Select]

#EXTM3U 
#EXTINF:0,SGPSP-Episode159 
\PODCASTS\Sarcastic Gamer » Playstation Podcast\SGPSP-Episode159.mp3 
#EXTINF:0,146 
\PODCASTS\The Joe Rogan Experience\146.mp3 
#EXTINF:0,2011.10.14ACS 
\PODCASTS\The Adam Carolla Show\2011.10.14ACS.mp3

If anyone can help me out that would be great.  The podcast that is skipping is the first one on the list

Is that "»" even possible in a FAT32 file name?  My guess is that its not and thats why you can't reference a file with that name.

I edited both the file name and the playlist file to no avail

It is not, but it's allowed in vfat (and since all systems use vfat on top of FAT these days it's ok). I rather suspect an encoding issue here -- I expect Ubuntu / Gpodder to use utf8 as default encoding, thus the m3u file being utf8 encoded. Since m3u doesn't specify the encoding to use this is something that causes problems quite frequently. Rename the playlist to use the extension m3u8, which is the extension for utf8-encoded playlists, and will get treated as a utf8 encoded playlist by Rockbox (or adjust the default codepage in Rockbox)
