Illegal chars in filename crashes MovingPictures (1 Viewer)

DBMovieInfo: c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\team mediaportal\mediaportal\thumbs\movingpictures\covers\fullsize\{Everything.You.Always.Wanted.To.Know.About.Sex.*.But.Were.Afraid.to.Ask}[-652869565].jpg

crashes Moving Pictures

I can't cut/paste the stack trace right now but the above is probably enough - clearly this movie (which actually has an asterisk in it's moviename) is slipping through and causing Moving Pictures to crash. Should be easy to reproduce. Its during the area where it's looking for covers to download.

Hope that helps!

Update: Added log with stack traces et al

the code should use Util.Utils.MakeFilename or something similar..

Yeah, we use HttpUtility.UrlEncode, but I guess that doesn't cover everything. Thanks for the bug report dir, I will take care of it.

Thanks John.
Easy workaround for now - I just moved the movie out to another directory that isn't in the scan, and deleted the entry from the database.

Now MediaPortal actually works - it just runs!
