All rating functionality for tracks with missing stars is disabled
(even using 'edit track information...' right-click does not work)
Re-Adding track from the library resolves this problem perfectly, all rating functionality restored.
Issue does not appear to be related to file format (IE: mp3, flac, m4a).
*This seems to be related specifically to the use of alternative whitespace characters in file metadata.*
I suspect when an external playlist is loaded, clementine is unable to match the playlist track with the internal library tracks.
Yes, the tracks are in the library.
Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)
1) Tag Audio tracks with odd characters, in this case EM spaces ' '.
IE: album: TRON OST [ Legacy ]
2) Create Playlist with those tracks
3) Save playlist and close it in Clementine
4) Reload playlist from external.xspf
5) Rating Stars no longer appear for those tracks in playlist.
Priority: Low
It's an odd use case, and for my own situation I already scripted a massive retag of all audio files to replace the EM spaces.
However, given the number of tracks, bands, and albums using multi-byte unicode characters in the names, it might be worth looking into.
