m3u playlist does not get scanned when you rescan playlists
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:25 UTC
I'm attaching the offending m3u file:
Created attachment 1183 [details] playlist that does not show in 6.2.2
I've never seen an m3u file that was html. What did you use to create this?
Daniel - where did that file come from? It's invalid.
Subject: Re: m3u playlist does not get scanned when you rescan playlists The source of the file was from a user who sent it in. See support ticket #749 for more details.
You have to have the AlienBBC plugin installed in order to have .rm recognised as a type. To test, I simply added the required line to types.conf (which alienBBC adds via Alien/custom-types.conf: rtsppl rm,ram,rpm,smil ? playlist Then, I placed the .rm file in the root of the music folder, and the root of the playlist folder. Rescan, or just navigate browse music folder. The playlist file should show up. Click on it, and you get the "browse playlist" page with the "rename, edit, delete" form at the top. Clicking on edit causes the crash. With the fix I mentioned above, it is just a listing (provided the rm points to valid files).
oops. :)
The actual playlist is this: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1, Radio Stad Den Haag http://194.171.240.230:9720 #EXTINF:-1, Hurricanefm http://hurricane.dahstream.nl:8014 #EXTINF:-1, XRM - Electronic http://64.202.98.51:4080 #EXTINF:-1, Lemixx http://213.251.129.38:8004 #EXTINF:-1, Digitally Imported - Euro Dance http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1024 #EXTINF:-1, Digitally Imported - Trance http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1003 #EXTINF:-1, XFM http://213.189.2.188:8100 #EXTINF:-1, EnergyRadio.FM - Energy Dance http://212.72.186.10:8052 #EXTINF:-1, Funky Hot Mix http://stream.funkyhotmix.com #EXTINF:-1, Pulse Radio http://69.46.0.20:8000 #EXTINF:-1, Fresh FM http://stream22.multikabel.net:80 #EXTINF:-1, Dance.FM http://81.173.25.25:8000 #EXTINF:-1, Digitally Imported - Vocal Trance http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1065 #EXTINF:-1, Digitally Imported - DJ Mixes http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1017
yeah, looks like someone saved it from a web page and got the whole html instead. doesn't really look like a bug, to me. invalid file is being ignored as it should :)
KDF - the playlist that is attached and is invalid (the html data) was just a bad paste from our internal support tracking system to the bug. I pulled the playlist off properly, and is what I included below, which looks like a valid m3u playlist.
right. in that case, it seems to scan fine for me. d_parse seems ok, and the urls are all listed under that playlist.
out on a limb here, but lemixx and Radio Stad Den Haag both could potentially have accented characters that got lost maybe? as it parses for me, I'm out of other ideas so I'm trying to think of possible causes that might link to the users' system setup. Maybe the d_parse log from them might help indicate where the scanning of this playlist fails?
Daniel - this works for everyone who's tried it. I'm closing this bug. If the customer still has this problem, please reopen the bug, and attach a non-html m3u file to the bug. Thanks.
KDF is correct! I removed those two stations (Lemix & Stad Den Haag) and SS see's the playlist after being scanned, must be an issue individual to those stations, perhaps accents such as KDF suggested.
