Apostrophes in the title

From looking at the log file, Minim translates the apostrophe in the filename into the HTML character ' A couple of online tables of HTML characters do not include this as a standard HTML glyph. When I tried to put the correct value here, it was translated by the BBS into the character -- but it is: ampersand - hash sign - 39 - ; (without the hyphens, of course).

As I said, a wild guess -- but could that be it?

I've tried this myself, and I've confirmed that MinimServer is not doing this translation. I used UPnPlay as the control point and the Linn DS as the renderer, and there's no problem when I play a file whose filename contains an apostophe. I think the problem is caused by the PWD handling the apostrophe character incorrectly (as well as having a problem with how it handles Unicode Chinese characters, as discussed earlier).

It would very helpful if someone who owns a PWD could report these bugs to PS Audio.

The problem doen't happen with Twonky because Twonky produces URLs that contain only "safe" characters. It would be possible for me to do something like this for MinimServer URLs, either by default or as a configurable option. Given the increasingly frequent reports of problems like this which are caused by renderer or control point bugs, I think I'll need to add this capability to MinimServer.
