Re: [slim] Unable to play any playlists through Squeezebox/Slimserver 6.5.4
I have the same issue - playlist created in WMP - which is a .wpl file and looks like a complete XML file, when scanned into SqueezeControl shows up but is empty. Just purchase the SqueezeBox Duet and installed it. Everything works great, but a bit disappointing that it does not recognize my Playlists. SC version 7.3.1. Does anyone have any work arounds for this? The lack of Playlist functionality is a bummer with a product otherwise so good.

Re: [slim] Unable to play any playlists through Squeezebox/Slimserver 6.5.4
I setup a test Windows system with Winamp. I created test M3U playlists and was able to play them OK with Slimserver. My Winamp M3U file have similar format to your file. I looked at the code - it is coded to handle CR/LF issues and other possible file encoding. Also the code really ignores everything except the track's file name (i.e.lines without starting #). The # line preceding a file name may be used if there is no tag info. There is no obvious problem and possibly there is an permission issue. So debug log info is essential. I checked the debug logging code and it seems there is a problem that if you request d_parse and rescan - the d_parse flag is not passed to the scanner and so no log messages are produced. This explains no log message in a previous post of yours. So to get logging message about what is happening when scanning playlist do the following. 1. make sure Slimserver is running 2. Open a command prompt window and make window wide and long (e.g. 200x3000) through menu at C:\ icon at Top LHS of command prompt window. 3. CD to the Slimserver directory - if default then then the command is cd C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server Check the contents of this directory - as a check it should contain slim.exe and scanner.exe . 4. run the following command scanner.exe --playlist --d_parse --d_scan 5. This should produce a log of each playlist being parsed.

It's possible the scanner.exe program didn't pickup your pref files or your playlist path is wrong in the prefs file. I got a log although my playlist are not in the same directory as slimserver. Is your prefs file in a nonstandard location ? What is your playlist path set in the prefs file (slimserver.pref) in the same directory as scanner.exe ?

Re: [slim] Unable to play any playlists through Squeezebox/Slimserver 6.5.4
Hi Siduhe, My D: drive is a local drive. I've tried relative paths and absolute ones... it didn't matter. The M3U that the SlimServer's GUI created used absolute paths, but it also used strange formatting which didn't seem to include carriage returns... the entire M3U wraps, which Winamp's or Media Player's M3U's look neat and orderly. Songs names are cut short due to a 30 char limit, but the filenames are intact. My server setting to find music is D:\Backup\My Music. It scans, finds and plays music just fine. Believe me... I've manually tried several different ways of formatting the path statement in the hopes that SlimServer finds the contents of my M3U's... all of which have been fruitless, with the exception for the weirdly formatted Slim GUI-created M3U.

Re: [slim] Unable to play any playlists through Squeezebox/Slimserver 6.5.4
Just bumping this back to the top... Does anyone else have a solution to getting these playlists to work right? I have tried 3 different methods now: 1 - Created a playlist in Winamp (relative and absolute paths) -- didn't work. 2 - Created a playlist in Windows Media Player (relative and absolute paths) -- didn't work. 3 - Created a playlist using Slimserver's IE gui -- WORKS! The only difference between all these playlists is that the one that slimserver spits out uses some sort of invisible carriage returns... ie. the whole list spills together like one big continuous paragraph. The Winamp and MediaPlayer playlists use carriage returns, neatly ordering all the entries along the left-hand side of the screen. Could there be an issue with Slimserver just not being able to interpret other .M3U's that were formatted just slightly different?
