Re: [pygame] pyg_mixer.music.load doesn't take non ascii chars

[Bo Jangeborg <bo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what I get if I run your code:

07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg
07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Users\Bo\Projekt\eclipse workspace\Bo\nametest.py", line 16, in <module>
ÂÂÂ pygame.mixer.music.load(open(file_path))
pygame.error: Not an Ogg Vorbis audio stream

and if I remove open() I get this

07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg
07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Users\Bo\Projekt\eclipse workspace\Bo\nametest.py", line 16, in <module>
ÂÂÂ pygame.mixer.music.load(file_path)
pygame.error: Couldn't open '07-Boabdil, Bulerïas.ogg'


I will use ordinary python os calls to copy the file and renaming the copy
as a workaround, as I don't see another way around this problem.
Thanks for trying to help.

i'd got a similar problem between windows, dos, and linux filesnames, ascii files.

i'd try your exacte copy "07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg".

exact code is:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
Â
import os
Â
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.set_num_channels(3)
pygame.mixer.init()
Â
file_path = "07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg"
print file_path
file_path = file_path.decode('utf8')
print file_path

pygame.mixer.music.load(open(file_path))
pygame.mixer.music.play(1)
pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.5)

you should learn about codecs strings inputs/output.

ensure you always work with the same, utf8.

most of python modules are based on, and python3 assume by default as in python2 you got

from __future__ import unicode_literals

But that gets me the Error:
"File path 'OggS' contains null characters"

music.load() expects to be passed the name of a file,
not the contents of the file. Just do this:

file_path = "07-Boabdil, BulerÃas.ogg"
pygame.mixer.music.load(file_path)

The reason I tried the object passing was because just
passing the name didn't work. So I am looking for
a workaround. According to the documentation
one should be able to pass an object as a parameter
but I am not sure if I am doing it the right way.

pygame.mixer.music.load()
Load a music file for playback
load(filename) -> None
load(object) -> None
This will load a music filename/file object and prepare it for playback.
