It's generally not good practice to edit opml files when LMS is running. If you are editing it make sure you are at Home level - on *ALL* devices - at the very least no Player UI is in the Favorites menu. Opml files are not part of the scanning process and the database - they are part of menus. For plugins opml files are re-read when the top level menu is "entered" so in the case of Favorites - from Home into Favorites. When favorites.opml is being edited - the new version is kept in a temp file until end of editing. At end of editing, favorites.opml file is renamed to backup and if that works ok, then temp file is renamed to favorites.opml. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111780 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
