| Summary | 0006255: Ability to change m3u format for portable devices | ||||
| Description | Some portable devices require different formats for m3u playlists. For example, some devices can only read playlists with relative paths, while others can use playlists with absolute paths. Other devices cannot read standard format m3u playlists, but only support "extended format" m3u (and vice versa). We should add some more options in the device profile so that playlist format can be customized based on the requirements of the device. | ||||

Additionally as I already pointed in several other bugs some devices uses "/" instead of "\" and in other case need to have full relative path according how device see Additional memory path (Noted only on devices with mem. cards) where Root Path of device is seen like "/SD/..." or "\SD\.." or even in some cases "\Music\SD\". |
|
|
Also it should be noted that there is .M3U8 playlists that are same as M3U but with BOM character representing that files are UTF-8 encoded (Code Page should be confirmed yet). |

Peke, can you include links to the issues you raise? As far as UI goes, these options can be added to Device Configuration > Copy Playlists > Options for the MTP (when operating in MSC mode) and MSC plugins: [ ] Force relative paths {tt: This causes the playlist to use a relative path to the files) [ ] Use 8.3 DOS-style filenames {tt: This is needed for some older devices} [ ] Use extended .m3u {tt: This format is used by some newer devices.} |
|
|
And from 0005933 : [ ] Use Linux folder separator ('/' instead of '\') {tt: This format is used by some devices.} |
|
|
Implemented in build 1301. |

[ ] Use 8.3 DOS-style filenames {tt: This is needed for some older devices} This option seems to be missing in the latest build, but it was there previously. Was it removed for any particular reason? |
|
|
The answer seems to be here: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7705#c25897 Do we know any device that requires this format? |
|
|
Seems the Creative Zen MX needs this format. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44192 |
|
|
As I explained in http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7705#c25897 , this option actually hasn't ever been present in MM. Leaving as a lower priority issue for 4.1 and beyond. |
|
|
User suggested here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=59168 that we should write LF line ending character only (and not CR) in case Linux-style separators are configured. It seems to make sense, Ludek please try to get this part into MM 4.0, if possible. |
