Since upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2, I get an "error opening file" when attempting to playback MP3 files. I've found discussions about the audio module but nothing about flash node.

So it does! I've not got round to updating to Drupal 5.2 until now.

It's a problem with the way the flashvars that handle the player are rendered, so I will investigate to see if the problem is occurring in Flash node, or in the SWF Tools rendering process.

This is related to a change to a core function drupal_urlencode. The error actually arises in SWFTools.

The problem lies in the way SWF Tools and Drupal between them encode the url for your audio file. See this thread at the SWF Tools page for details.

There is a fix posted at that link that requires you to make a small change to the function _swftools_get_flashvars_string in swftools.module. I tried the fix on my test server and it now works again (the problem also affects flv files).

Hope that helps! Setting this issue to "fixed" as far as Flash node is concerned!
