Mnyb thanks for responding. I'm not sure if this is what you were asking but the problem only occurs with shortcuts. If there is a subfolder with m3u files, it works fine. Before submitting a bug, I wanted to see if this was a bug or maybe something I could fix myself.
I did some more checking however and realized that what I have been doing all these years with 6.5 is the other way around. In the server settings, I pointed the "Playlists" folder to my entire music library (which includes mp3, m3u, etc. and many many subfolders), then I would point the "Music" folder to a folder full of shortcut folders (like the screenshot) where only my Playlists reside. I don't remember how I came up with this workaround and I am probably the only one in the universe who does this (sucks for me). But what this allowed me to do is rely totally on my "Music Folder" to browse 3000 or so playlists (while retaining the folder structure, again like the screenshot). In fact I even removed the other menu items (Artist, Album, Playlists, etc) as I had no use for them. Obviously browsing 3000 playlists in a single playlists folder would not be fun. In any case, what happens now with LMS 7.7 and 7.8 is that I can still get the folder structure I described above, but when I go to play any of my playlists in the Music Folder I get the infamous "cannot request non-http url file" error. This error has been brought up on the forum several times over the years for different reasons but there never seems to be a resolution. Keep in mind what I'm talking about here is 100% local content, no internet streaming anything. So... am I totally screwed here? :confused: I'd really like to make this work and not have to go crawling back to 6.5... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M7CC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100769 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
