Empty listing with Vlc on Android

[simoncn]

I have reproduced this problem. It is caused by a bug in VLC. When VLC browses a container, the server returns a UPnP object ID for each object in the container. VLC is modifying object IDs that contain a '*' character instead of using them "as is". For example, if MinimServer returns the object ID '0$playlists$*p0', VLC changes the object ID to '0$playlists$%2ap0' which isn't a valid MinimServer object ID.

There also seems to be a problem with object IDs that contain a # character. For example, if MinimServer returns the object ID '0$=#AudioFormat', VLC changes the object ID to '0$=' which isn't a valid MinimServer object ID.

If you view the MinimServer log, you will see some "isn't a valid object" messages from MinimServer that are caused by this problem.

For correct operation of MinimServer, it is essential that the control point preserves all object IDs returned by MinimServer exactly "as is" with no modification.
