M3U not working

Submitted by panchekha on Sun, 12/07/2008 - 13:35

Hi,

I added a folder with several m3u playlists. Server list them but does not play. Any suggestion?

I have this: DivX Connected(tm) 1.4.0 Build: 59

Also, would you be so kind to post a link to connected server User Manual? Not fast connection guide but a normal User Manual, if at all possible.

Thank you very much,
Alexey

PS - sample playlist is attached. Nothing fancy - whatever MS Media Player creates.

1.4.1 beta has a fix for playlists

Some extended characters were not supported in the 1.4 server.

You can download it here.

Where are the files...

Are the files the M3U points to in directories that are visible (scanned) by the DivX Connected server? This could be the problem... if the files are outside the server software's list of folders to scan, it may not be able to see them, even though the M3U is there.

Indeed

Indeed,

Files are on the hard drive but not "added" to divx menu. I wanted to avoid loading all the glory stuff of which I most likely want to listen to play lists only anyway.

Easy enough to check and ... indeed. This is the cause.
So, I actually have to add the mess of folders to pull out a subset I will listen in 99% of cases and put some effort to built.

Thank you for the solution, though it is, well, a sad one.
I would prefer to "mount" play list instead of actual folders.
