Description Marc Auslander 2006-05-26 09:39:23 UTC

In a playlist like:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,WVFU
http://140.158.39.11:9000/

when I look at it on the web interface, or play the entry, the entry is labelled with the playlist name, not the entry name.  In a list with multiple entries, all are labelled with the playlist name.

Comment 1 Marc Auslander 2006-05-26 09:41:29 UTC

Its worse than I though.  Once i did anything to cause a playlist writeback, the playlist itself had all the labels replaced with the playlist name.

Comment 2 Andy Grundman 2006-05-26 13:16:32 UTC

This might be my fault.  In fixing bug 2723, I added some code that writes playlist item titles to match the parent playlist.  The intent of this was to never show a raw URL in the player display if we had a better title (from the playlist) to display.  I'll do some more testing and see if that's the cause of this bug.

Comment 3 Marc Auslander 2006-05-26 13:41:23 UTC

IMHO you should never override an explicit title entry (#EXTINF: ) in a playlist.  The user set it that way.

And remember that a playlist may contain multiple entries.  I use a playlist to keep track of the internet radio streams I listen to.  You don't want to make the various entries in such a playlist indistinguishable.  Maybe the stream URL is the only distinguishing value, after all.

Please try with tonight's nightly.  It will now only set a title if the item has no title or has a URL for a title.

Comment 5 Marc Auslander 2006-05-27 08:00:45 UTC

Looks good to me in the 5/27 build.  I'm still suspicious of overriding entries which look like URL's - someone put that entry in, after all.  I'm probably not understanding the cases your are trying to fix.

Comment 6 Andy Grundman 2006-05-27 08:07:47 UTC

The problem this solves is for remote internet streams that have playlists with just URLs in them.

This bug fix is now part of a released version, and so has been marked closed. If you are still experiencing this problem, please reopen the bug.
