vm commentedconfirmed this bug.
Comment #2
vm commentedmarking as critical because users won't know not to include files with apostrophes in titles either mediafield needs to strip the apostrophe from the file name or be able to play the files with the apostrophe in the name.
Comment #3
a_c_m commentedI think this is an issue with the player (probably flash based) getting confused due to the apostrophe in the name but not directly the issue of MediaField as its working as designed.
Comment #4
a_c_m commentedIs there no way this can be dealt with by the player, escaping the file name string etc?
Comment #5
vm commentedthere are multiple players that can be used. I too think mediafield should strip all special characters. commas, apostrophies and the like to insure the file gets played in any of the players.
I embed a different player then those shipped with the audio module and this is still and issue when users use commas and apostrophies in the titles of audio files

alanburke commentedCan't say I've ever used it, but every time I see this problem reported in other issues...
http://drupal.org/project/transliteration
is seen as the solution
