Problem solved!
Thanks a lot for the help. 
I also check my other playlist text file and discover than text is like
the file you fix, then the problem was produced when I try to fix the
wrong characters in windows. 

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot. 
I am going to test it later, when I am back at home. 
I will let you know if the problem is solved and I am going to
investigate a better way to improve my playlist import from ITunes to
LMS. 


THANKS Again for your time.

Of course, please find attached the playlist that is making me crazy.
95% of the time I listen anglo music, my playlist are also mainly
english names.

The attached playlist 35588, is the first one were I
noticed the problem. If you see the file, the first song named "Rasguña
Las Piedras" is not detected by LMS, the second song works with no
problem. Find and replace to correct characters does not work (using
MACOS Text editor or Windows Notepad).

Thanks again

Tanks to booth!
My full setup:

My music library is stored in a Mac Mini and I use Music (ITunes) to
manage it. This is (was) my source in my main equipment. 
The special characters born here in the Mini Library. 
The backup of this library is in the Synology NAS (the copy is made with
carbon copy Cloner). 
This library is shared to RPI 4 running LMS (Picore 8.0) over CIFS. 
Playlist are originally created in ITunes, with this app, I also export
them in m3u format, in the same Mac I made find and replace (text
editor) to change path and create a new m3u file (rich text format) and
changing the file extensions back to m3u (not RTF). This new file are
also stored in Synology. 
I also some windows machine, but special character correction in the
text file does not work using PC (notepad) or the Mac (text editor). 

Thanks again!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS playlist and special characters

[tobal2]

Hi,

I am running LMS on an RPI4 (Picore 8.0) with the music files stored in
a Synology NAS. Everything works perfect. 
Yesterday a notice that some of my playlist shows less song than they
should an checking the m3u files with notepad I find that the problems
were made from some special text character like ñ or ó, the text file
replace these kind with wear strings, manually I change them, but with
no success after a rescan. 
The playlist are originally generated with ITunes. 
Do I have any solution other than replace these special characters in
the source (ITunes)?

Thanks in advance!

Ps: I am in Chile, English is not my language.

I have the same problem. All my playlist are empty. 
I am running PCP 7.0 in RPI 4. 
My files are stored in NAS (music and playlist) with NFS access for the
Pi.

Backup is done, and everything is working. 
Tomorrow challenge is install Unpn plugin to mix RPI players with a
couple of Sonos. 
Today I can not find the generate button described in the instructions.

Perfect. 
I am going to make some test, maybe my problem with nfs permissions had
something to do with the RPI not restarting well.

Wired. 
I followed that guide, but some times the music folder is, and other LMS
only see the parent folder.

Interesting alternative to add a new RPI in my network to run LMS. 
Currently I have a Syno DS416play, where can I read about this docker an
how install LMS?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on RPI4

[tobal2]

Hi, as requested by M. Herger in other topic, I start a new one with my
doubts. 

Starting the RPI4 LMS Project!

Some questions:
Is NFS the best way to mount the synology hdd were Music and playlist
are stored?
I had to tried several times, mount message was ok but LMS not see any
file when scanning. Finally I did it, but I am not totally sure why some
time works and others doesn’t. 
Any recommendation about best way to access NAS files?

LMS server (over picoreplayer) has a big warning for proper
shutdown...is it means that I am going to setting everything again in
case of power cut? I do not have an UPS. 
Is there a way to be protected of this?

Thanks
CSL
