Describe the issue

I setup my library and one of the episodes could not be played. I looked a the raw rss file and saw that the links are broken by the special characters like @ and &. I think they should be url encoded in order for it to work.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. upload a file with a name containing whitespaces and special characters like @ and &
  2. open the rss feed
  3. the link in the item section will be broken due to the special characters like @ and & beeing in the link

Audiobookshelf version

Latest version

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Could the not encoded url be part of the reason for #2008 ? If so, this could be closed as a duplicate.

It is still broken sorry. I think the problem is that the characters which are not allowed in a URL like &,@ and ( ) are not URL encoded, but I could be wrong.

To reproduce just upload a file with some whitespaces and & or @ characters in the title, or rename and episode to contain a few of those. If have taken them out and the episode could be played.

I'm not able to reproduce this. I just created an RSS feed with an episode that has all of those characters in the filename with no issues.
