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.

d6jg wrote: > Try to stop using Notepad and investigate Notepad++ - it is far far > better Definitely - Notepad is too limited. Wordpad might be an alternative but just renaming the filename extension from rtf to m3u does NOT change the format. Editors may recognise the RTF format and so may display the file as normal text but the file is not in the right UTF8 format expected by LMS. The RTF file must be exported or "Save As" into a ".txt" format with whatever editor you choose. LMS processing of m3u files is not strict - IIRC it ignores any lines not beginning with "#EXTINF" and when it finds a "#EXTINF" line - the next line is used as the file path. So RTF files with "normal" character will be processed by LMS. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115034 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

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.

That's a complex way to generate a playlist - lots of opportunities for problems - my initial worry is about using RTF. Can you attach a small playlist (may need to zip or change extension) so that the character encoding can be checked.

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!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS playlist and special characters
I don't think the issue is the specifically the extension m3u vs m3u8 - I think LMS treats them the same. However character encoding and what was used to create the m3u file could be the issue. Notepad - implies Windows - unless you're careful Windows may not create compatible files - character encoding could be a windows charset and not UTF-8 Describe your setup fully (i.e files are on synology and have full names, how shared with Pi) and how (i.e what tools/editors) you create the M3U playlists ? bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115034 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

This means that LMS can't find the file referred to in the playlist and so omits it. There -is- a playlist format that supports letters with diacritics, using UTF-8 encoding. These playlists use the extension .m3u8 I'm assuming iTunes could generate m3u8 playlists, since Apple uses UTF-8/m3u8 playlists for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), but I don't use iTunes. However, I don't know if LMS supports m3u8 playlist files (either natively or could via a plugin), which is obviously the crucial bit :-) Hopefully someone else will be along to help more.

When were the appended tracks added? I have noticed that if I add a track in the closing few seconds of the track that is playing the appended track doesn't start automatically. Other than that I don't experience this issue. This actually could be true: LMS would start pre-buffering the next track about 10s (or the buffer size - don't remember) before the end of a track. If you add tracks after that moment, LMS likely would miss them. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
