I setup a test Windows system with Winamp. I created test M3U playlists and was able to play them OK with Slimserver. My Winamp M3U file have similar format to your file.
I looked at the code - it is coded to handle CR/LF issues and other possible file encoding. Also the code really ignores everything except the track's file name (i.e.lines without starting #). The "#" line preceding a file name may be used if there is no tag info. There is no obvious problem and possibly there is an permission issue. So debug log info is essential. I checked the debug logging code and it seems there is a problem that if you request "d_parse" and rescan - the "d_parse" flag is not passed to the scanner and so no log messages are produced. This explains no log message in a previous post of yours. So to get logging message about what is happening when scanning playlist do the following. 1. make sure Slimserver is running 2. Open a command prompt window and make window wide and long (e.g. 200x3000) through menu at "C:\" icon at Top LHS of command prompt window. 3. CD to the Slimserver directory - if default then then the command is cd C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server Check the contents of this directory - as a check it should contain slim.exe and scanner.exe . 4. run the following command scanner.exe --playlist --d_parse --d_scan 5. This should produce a log of each playlist being parsed. Copy the output for parsing the M3U file and attach to a post -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38479 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
