JW Player cannot handle & and other special characters, unicode characters in file name!
Hi
I have a video file "mike & molly.mp4". It is a valid mp4 file and plays fine in windows media, quicktime etc players.
But when I try to play this on a self hosted JW Player 7.2.2, it says "Error loading media: File could not be played"
As soon as I remove the & from file name, it plays in JWPlayer just fine
What is the recommended way to handle this issue for & and other characters?
Please help...
