Playing m3u

[jeffcora]

Hi there Sub,

Could you possibly add the following to your development or to-do list (low priority obviously). I manage all my music and playlists through Media Player. What I've found is the .m3u's created or saved in Winamp work fine. However if they are created or saved within Media Player (and possibly other editors) they don't work. If I start one on the PC GBPVR end I get "Error: Index was outside the bounds of the array". At the MVP end, it resets.

I believe this is due to the slight differences in file formats. The WinAmp version doesn't have blank lines, the Media Player one does. GB-PVR doesn't seem to like these blank lines. i.e. this will work:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Kiss House Nation\Kiss House Nation (CD2)\15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
#EXTINF:0,01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Hands To Heaven\Hands To Heaven (CD1)\01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3

Re-save the same playlist in Media Player and it won't work on GBPVR

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Kiss House Nation\Kiss House Nation (CD2)\15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3

#EXTINF:0,01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Hands To Heaven\Hands To Heaven (CD1)\01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
<Another blank line>

If any blank lines are removed in notepad, including the extra one at the end, GB-PVR plays it again.

If this won't be too hard to correct, it would be great to correct it on a future release to prevent the MVP resetting everytime one of these files is selected.

Thanks, Rob

I've corrected this, and it'll be included in the next release.

Excellent, thanks Sub, you've done it again!

Cheers, Rob

Hi Sub,

Just to let you know, this is still a problem in the latest release, if the blank lines are removed from the file, GBPVR plays it again.

Sorry, you're right. I've just checked, and it is still doing it.

Silly mistake on my part. This now corrected, and will be included in an updated (bug fix) version due in a couple of days.

Easily done I'm sure with lots of things on the go. Thanks!

BTW, just to let you know I have the same problem with mp3 that don't play, reported recently. I didn't post as I though it might be something with my set-up again. I re-ripped the CD again (using CDEX), with exactly the same result. All the tracks play, but about 5 out of the 11 of them are silent!   Just my luck it my favorite album!    Come across a small percentage of others that also don't play, but not too many (yet). Didn't notice before as they play ok on the MVP front end - different I know.
