Could not read tags from file

Issue #2 resolved
alium created an issue

Xnoise can not add music from my directory, because going "Error: Could not read tags from file" (in terminal).

I investigate little this problem: Problem is non-english, but UTF-8 characters - like ěščřřžýáíé - in path. (It seems space in path make no problems.)

example: Xnoise could not read tags from file /home/alois/Hudba/Mluvené slovo/Cimrman/14 - Afrika aneb Češi mezi lidožravci (2002)/05 - Opeřený had.mp3'

libtaginfo-0.1.3 + xnoise-0.2.17 + gstreamer 1.0.6.

    Are you sure the problem is UTF-8 related?

    I have tons of non-ascii paths (e.g.: /home/me/Musik/Alèmayèhu Eshèté/Ethiopiques, Volume 22 More Vintage!/01 - Alèmayèhu Eshèté - Nèy-Nèy Wèlèba.mp3)

    Can you send me such a file? Maybe post a dropbox linke here. I'll download, test and remove the link from this bug report.

    hmm, no, i am no more sure. It is strange. If i copy my music to another place (for example /home/test), works all normally.

    Sorry, not a bug, i have some wrong...

    latest version 0.2.18 + taginfo 0.1.6:

    Error: Could not read tags from file '/home/alois/Hudba/Mluvené slovo/Vlasta Burian/Vlasta Burian v radiu (1938-1957)/07 Vlasta Burian žádá o místo (rozhlasový Silvestr 1955)houslisty.mp3' xnoise: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libtaginfo.so.1: undefined symbol: ZNK6TagLib6StringneERKS0

    The message looks like your softlinks arenot set up. Try sudo ldconfig after installing. I didn't do any further tests because I am traveling right now and I have no access to my computer.

    I'm back home now and I just tested the file and it works fine with libtaginfo. the message: " symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libtaginfo.so.1: undefined symbol: ZNK6TagLib6StringneERKS0" looks like a linker problem.

    Install libtaginfo and do

    sudo ldconfig
    

    after that.

    What OS do you use?

    Manual or packages installation?

    taglib version?

    I tested taglib-1.8, and with this works perfectly! Upps, mea culpa! Thank you very much find the problem (taglib 1.7 with rcc works not good).

    Yes, libtaginfo requires taglib 1.8 for building as some some features of version 1.8 are required.
