Playlists with spaces in name
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:25 UTC
I have a number of playlists with names of the form: "BBC Radio 1" - note the spaces in the name. They seem to have disappeared in the nightly, and the following message was in the log files: 2006-05-30 08:47:57.5475 Slim::Formats::Playlists::M3U::read: WARNING: file:///usr/local/slimserver/playlists/rtsp:/rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra found in playlist: file:///usr/local/slimserver/playlists/BBC%20Radio%201.m3u doesn't exist on disk - skipping!
all my playlists are gone - even one with no blank in its name
Me, too: gone, even with no spaces. Sometimes, on rescan, a single one shows up, which happens to be the only one that is an actual list of songs, the others all being saved radio references. Showed up in SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7764 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252; previously I was running the latest official release.
Tom, are you saying you've seen this problem in 6.3? If so I will change the target and investigate it more closely.
Correct, in 6.3, a recent nightly. (I wanted to try the Rhapsody support.) I had previously been using the stable 6.2, so I can't pin down very precisely when the error came in.
Okay, so I made a vm with 6.2.2 and made a bunch of playlists and upgreaded to last night's 6.3, and all my playlists seem to have survived. Has this bug been fixed as a side-effect of some other work? Or am I not reproducing it correctly? Thanks for any tips!
Chris - Yes, you have correctly interpreted my complaint at least. I tried the 6/16 nightly and it also worked properly for me. Perhaps, as you suggest, it got unbroken; else it's something more subtle and occasional.
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.
