Description Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2008-09-24 16:19:57 UTC

Version:           svn 863908 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

I just tried to play some m3u-files with amarok, that i had on my HDD, but amarok doesn't open them.
I tried to open them through amarok itself, and through drag and drop with dolphin, but amaroks doesn't add my m3u playlists to the playlist-cue.

Trying to open those m3u-files, while amarok is running in a konsole gives me these messages:

amarok: BEGIN: virtual bool AmpacheServiceFactory::possiblyContainsTrack(const KUrl&) const
amarok:      url:  "file:///path/to/m3u-file"
amarok:      do not think so...
amarok: END__: virtual bool AmpacheServiceFactory::possiblyContainsTrack(const KUrl&) const - Took 0.00029s
amarok: END__: virtual void Playlist::GraphicsView::dropEvent(QDropEvent*) - Took 0.0034s

I'm using amarok svn version 863908

confirmed for amarok2. Can import m3u playlists but amarok won't play em.

Comment 2 Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2008-10-10 17:27:48 UTC

amarok doesn't even play playlists created by itself!
Version 1.92.2

Comment 3 Mark Kretschmann 2008-10-10 17:59:07 UTC

I can confirm this.

In fact it's even worse in SVN trunk: It doesn't save anything when you try to export a playlist

Comment 4 Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2008-10-10 21:54:58 UTC

Something I noticed:
If you have m3u playlists in any folder that is scanned by amarok, those playlist are selectabe from the "Playlists"/"My Playlists"-menu.
If you load them from that menu, some of the playlists are loaded and played properly. Others are "suffering" from the same issue as mentioned above.

Maybe this helps a bit in the fixing-process it.

thank you

Comment 8 Nikolaj Hald Nielsen 2008-11-02 13:42:14 UTC

Fixed in current svn. Loading m3u playlists works fine, both with relative and absolute track paths. IT also correctly loads files created on Windows ( with \ directory separators ).

Please reopen if any issues persists.

Comment 9 Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2008-11-03 23:56:51 UTC

Thank You!
