Hi,
background:
I do have a problem with some podcast servers cutting the connection
after 5 minutes as the LMS podcast plugin doesnt cache the whole podcast
(what a pity). To listen to the podcast on LMS, I do the following:
run a cronjob every night, which downloads the latest episode, makes
sure only x files are kept, creates/updates a playlist accessible to
LMS, and triggers a playlist rescan
The intention is to get a playlist with the latest x episodes, best with
showing the podcast logo and title per episode. I then can select the
one I want to listen to -> voila.
General issues:
1. I cannot create a playlist, which refers to files in the LMS folders,
which are not scanned yet (then the playlist is shown as empty, though
the file exists - and I dont want to do a full database rescan)
-> workaround: I placed the files in a webserver directory and created a
URL link pointing to 127.0.0.1/FILE
2. LMS doesnt get the embedded mp3 information from the URL file
(clear), so playlist shows no title, no duration, no logo
-> workaround: use #EXTM3U to provide information
Issue I filed this ticket for:
EXTM3U information seems to be not read by LMS. I used the following
format, by copying from LMS internal playlists:
Code:

#CURTRACK 0

--------------------
I also tried adding
Code:
--------------------
#EXTINF:1400 tgv-logo="URL",Steingart5
--------------------
or
Code:
--------------------
#EXTINF:1400 logo="URL",Steingart5
--------------------
Can somebody help me, why the extended m3u lines are not respected?
@mherger: As another option - is there a chance to allow playlists to
refer to local files, which not have been scanned yet? Basically to
create playlists through the "browse music folder" function? At least
the file title can be provided then, or manually EXTM3U could be used.
Thanks, regards
