Description Philip Meyer 2005-09-08 23:26:17 UTC
I used to have a .m3u containing the following radio station url:

http://wxpnsc.streamguys.com:80/

This used to play fine in previous versions, but in 6.2 I have found the 
playlist sometimes gets added and then deleted from "Browse Playlist".

I thought it was because entries don't get added to playlists if they aren't 
playable, and a playlist with no entries doesn't get displayed.  However, the 
station plays fine in windows media player.

At one stage, the playlist was listed but I couldn't play it.  I edited the 
playlist entry in the web UI, changing the title for the playlist entry 
to "WXPN Live".  Upon saving the change, the playlist disappeared.  Therefore 
it wasn't possible to edit the entry any more.  It is a bit of a nuisance if 
changing an entry can cause the playlist to be removed, as it's then not 
possible to re-edit the entry.

I think I have fixed my problem by re-entering the url in the Radio URL Tune 
In help page, which played the station, and then saving the playlist as a 
different name.  This created a .m3u file containing:

#CURTRACK 0
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,WXPN Live
http://wxpnsc.streamguys.com:80/

The extra info lines seem crucial now in 6.2b1.  Are the extra lines 
mandatory, or is there a bug that prevents the stream from playing without 
them?


If I attempt to edit the playlist, it crashes slimserver with:
Can't call method "title" without a package or object reference 
at /PerlApp/Slim/Web/EditPlaylist.pm line 143.

Philip - I've just checked in a bunch of changes relating to the playlist editing. This should be fixed now as 
of subversion change 4384 - and in the 2005-09-21 nightly.
