NPVR support .m3u or xml playlists?

Do you have the other patches installed from sticky survival guide thread?

[mdiscenzo]

I do not, as I wasn't experiencing any of the problems those patches fix. Should I apply them anyway?

You probably need to apply those patches, then the m3u patch. Something in that patch probably depends on one of the other files that have been updated.

Speaking of paths... any chance on getting the Windows Shortcuts for linking to different directories implemented in NPVR.

This patch should work with directory shortcuts.

What is this other patch for? Is this something I should look at using as well? And ultimately, I'm wondering what methodology you use for creating patches? Are they then included in a future release, and does each subsequent patch take into consideration a system that has had all prior patches applied?

You mean immediately above your post (attached to post #15)? It adds a further feature, not directly related to your m3u request. It allows users to create Windows shortcuts to other folders, and they'll show up as a directory in the Video/Music/Picture library screens.

I only maintain one version of the application. Patches I post are files from that build that have been updated to add additional features or fix bugs, and these will be part of the next full release. In general I try to be careful to make sure that any patch I post can work when applied to the last full release, but occasional inter-dependencies creep in and you might need other patches installed. I'm not sure if that is the case here or not.

Sub, you're an absolute hero!!

Thank you very much, this is fantastic!

I've updated the patch post to remind users that the patched files should be installed by everyone, particularly before posting any support request.
