What are those paths relative to?
I think I probably mis-spoke when I said relative vs. absolute paths. The crux of the problem (as shown in the example at the end of the message, is that the paths are written with a leading '/'. This causes problems for both my mp3 player (even if I change it to the windows '\') and for totem. Removing the leading / fixes the problem. >> #EXTM3U >> #EXTINF:,One >> /MUSIC/Shinedown/00 - One.mp3 >> #EXTINF:,Carried Away >> /MUSIC/Shinedown/00 - Carried Away.mp3 >> >> Needs to instead be: >> >> #EXTM3U >> #EXTINF:,One >> MUSIC\Shinedown\00 - One.mp3 >> #EXTINF:,Carried Away >> MUSIC\Shinedown\00 - Carried Away.mp3 >> <blank line> Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
