Hi all,
I have recently migrated my LMS to a headless pc running vortexbox. I
have it all up and working fine except I am having trouble importing
playlists from a windows machine running MusicBee. I use musicBee
because It is easier to create playlists in and it syncs selected
playlists to my mobile device brilliantly. I can export a playlist from
MusicBee directly to the \\VORTEXBOX\files\music\playlist directory. It
gives me the option to to unix file paths (/) and to remap the file
paths. I can also select the playlist type and I select .m3u.
However LMS doesn't see the playlists imported this way.

Here is an example of a playlist the LMS creates

#CURTRACK 0
#EXTM3U
#EXTURL:file:///storage/music/flac/Bert%20Weedon/20%20Guitar%20Greats/Wipe%20Out.flac
#EXTINF:184,Wipe Out/storage/music/flac/Bert Weedon/20 Guitar
Greats/Wipe Out.flac
#EXTURL:file:///storage/music/flac/Bert%20Weedon/20%20Guitar%20Greats/Yakety%20Axe.flac
#EXTINF:121,Yakety Axe/storage/music/flac/Bert Weedon/20 Guitar
Greats/Yakety Axe.flac


And here is an example of one exported from MB

/storage/music/flac/Alison Moyet/Alf/All Cried Out.mp3
/storage/music/flac/Alison Moyet/Alf/For You Only.mp3

As you can see the exported one is much simpler. So my question is
Should the exported one be read ok bt LMS?

If not then is it a permissions issue?
I have noticed when browsing the share from my windows 7 machine that
there seems to bne a difference in the permissions. See attached
jpg's.
Is this the problem?
If so how do I fix it on the headless vortexbox?
I don't fancy "messing" with the permissions through windows file
browser without advice as I am a Linux newbie.

Any advice appreciated.

Regards
Clive
