Ampersand in title or meta_artist #15

Closed lexxful closed 7 years ago

lexxful commented 7 years ago

Has anyone encountered a problem with a result of 'title' or 'meta_artist' parameters that have ampersand?

In my case Title represents ampersand as &#_038; and Artist as &_amp;

Is there some way to make it normal for reading in media player? 2017 05 12-17 14 02

Hi @killexx

I guess the visual editor has changed & to &.

You can e.g. try to view it in the Text mode instead and change from & to & and save.

Hopefully that works.

The problem is that normal/direct output to html is normal, but when string goes through json list of tracks ampersand becomes encoded, and doesn't decode back to normal.

Thanks for the screenshot, how does it look like in the Text mode in the editor?

Normal shortcode usage don't have such a problem. So I will close this issue.

I try to use this plugin for direct php output without a shortcode, and in ajax request, but it seems that it is impossible or buggy, because many problems occur: 1) shortcodes don't work in ajax requests; 2) some symbols have problems with encoding
