Can't browse in library to other drives with vlc 1.2.0 prerelease (and wrong path display) #130

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

It's no more possible to browse to another drive with vlc 1.2.0 prerelease.
Beside path displayed in library is wrong when browsing to parent directory.

Note that previous version was working perfectly. (with classic http interface, 
I was not using luahttp but it seems there will be only luahttp with vlc 1.2.0)
There's no problem with other android vlc remote.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.go to library and see current directory => "c:\users\xxx\documents\..\"
2."click" on parent
3.note that directory path is wrong "c:\users\xxx\documents\..\" => it's not 
when browsing to sub folders
4."click" on parent until you get to drive root
5."click" once more => it does nothing, yet you should have drives listing

Which pre-release build are you using?  The web UI is broken in the latest 
nightly build.

I'm using VLC 1.2.0-pre3-20111228-0203
(The same occurred with previous used releases from december : 8th, 13th, 15th, 
16th, 24th, 25th)

I installed and checked again with VLC Remote Free from Hobbyist Software :
I have to browse to parent directory twice to access drive list and there's no 
weirdness with folder path when browsing to parent.

It's quite possible vlc is broken.
I was not able to find any relating bug on their site and since the remote from 
Hobbyist seemed to work I assumed at first the problem was with vlc remote 
beta. Now I noticed it was necessary to browse twice with VLC Remote from 
Hobbyist and it doesn't seem normal.

The luahttp interface seems to still be a work-in-progress, but I've added a 
work-around so that the "Parent" menu option will open the drive list if the 
directory does not have ".." entry.  

VLC should be normalizing the path on Windows like it does on Linux to 
eliminate the trailing ...'s.

I know this is sub-optimal, but I'd like to wait for luahttp to stabilize 
before investing effort in more elaborate work-arounds.

Thanks for catching this!
