Hi there... I'm having trouble playing my .M3U playlists and will all
say that the playlist is empty.  It's starting to drive me nuts!  :) 
I'm running Squeezebox and SlimServer 6.5.4 on Windows 2003.  Here's
detailed info:

SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Windows Server 2003 - EN - cp1252
Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt

I have all my music in this kind of structure:

D:\Backup\My Music\Artist\Album\Song.mp3

I have .M3U playlists sitting in the root of D:\Backup\My Music.  The
playlists were all marked with relative paths:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:489,Airwave - Lady Blue (Ambient Mix)
Airwave\Airwave - Lady Blue (Ambient Mix).mp3
#EXTINF:461,Airwave Vs Rising Star - Sunspot (Original Mix)
Airwave\Airwave vs Rising Star - Sunspot (original mix-promo
vinyl).mp3
#EXTINF:486,Angels & Agony - Darkness (Inside Version)
angels & agony\Darkness EP [2001]\02_Angels & Agony - Darkness (Inside
Version).mp3
#EXTINF:297,Angels & Agony - Darkness (Outside Version)
angels & agony\Darkness EP [2001]\01_Angels & Agony - Darkness (Outside
Version).mp3

... Each time I select to play it from the Squeezebox, its saying that
the playlist is empty...  So I tried putting absolute paths into it..

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:489,Airwave - Lady Blue (Ambient Mix)
D:\Backup\My Music\Airwave\Airwave - Lady Blue (Ambient Mix).mp3
#EXTINF:461,Airwave Vs Rising Star - Sunspot (Original Mix)
D:\Backup\My Music\Airwave\Airwave vs Rising Star - Sunspot (original
mix-promo vinyl).mp3
#EXTINF:486,Angels & Agony - Darkness (Inside Version)
D:\Backup\My Music\angels & agony\Darkness EP [2001]\02_Angels & Agony
- Darkness (Inside Version).mp3
#EXTINF:297,Angels & Agony - Darkness (Outside Version)
D:\Backup\My Music\angels & agony\Darkness EP [2001]\01_Angels & Agony
- Darkness (Outside Version).mp3

... this yielded the same result.  The weird thing is, if I create a
playlist in the SlimServer UI, it can save and play from the playlist
just fine.  The only strange thing I noticed was that it seems to cut
off part of the song name, almost like there's a character limit
(30)?... This one was created in SlimServer's UI:

#CURTRACK 0
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,not unique (club mix by AIBOFO
D:\Backup\My Music\Aiboforcen\Psychosomatically Unique DJ EP
[2004]\Aiboforcen - 01-not_unique_(club_mix_by_aiboforcen).mp3
#EXTINF:-1,not unique (ROTERSAND rework)
D:\Backup\My Music\Aiboforcen\Psychosomatically Unique DJ EP
[2004]\Aiboforcen - 03-not_unique_(rotersand_rework).mp3
#EXTINF:-1,not unique (VIRTUAL EMBRACE mi
D:\Backup\My Music\Aiboforcen\Psychosomatically Unique DJ EP
[2004]\Aiboforcen - 05-not_unique_(virtual_embrace_mix).mp3

I'm not too familiar with logging, but I enabled the playlist flag...
This test.m3u has about 5 songs in it with absolute paths.  This is
what it shows:

scanPathOrURL: Finding valid files in: D:\Backup\My Music\test.m3u

[(?i-xsm:\.(?:ape|wma|asf|wax|asx|lnk|wpl|shn|wav|wave|mp3|mp2|m3u|pls|xspf|flc|flac|fla|m4a|mov|m4b|mp4|cue|mp+|mpc|ogg|aif|aiff|lnk)$)]

I've tried saving my .M3U's as .PLS files... no difference.  If you
have any suggestions on what it takes to get my playlists working
properly, I would certainly appreciate it!

Thank you!
Mike
