would be great to have a better way to import existing playlists. Waiting for this for quite some time now. Manually creating new EMBY-specific playlists makes no sense to me!

Hi, yes this is a great idea.

The next release of Emby Server will support importing playlists of the following formats:

• m3u
• pls
• wpl
• zpl

Enjoy.

Awesome, thanks!

[webpostkastl]

this is such good news, thanks! any idea when this new version will be available for the Synology NAS package? I can't wait to fully switch to Emby, but importing playlists is such an essential functionality for me (as long as there are no smart playlists)

[Luke]

It will be in the next stable release, thanks.

How can you get Emby to recognize the .m3u playlists?  I exported them all individually from iTunes and placed into a separate folder on my Emby-hosted audio drive.  When it does the next full scan of the library, will it then recognize all of the .m3y playlists?  (Yes, they point to the exact same file structure between iTunes and emby as I work on porting over, slowly....)

UPDATE: After a full library scan, they do all appear now in Emby - yay!  
However....  they all have 0 songs contained within   
Please advise...

Here's a sample from the .M3U:
 

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:50,Beacon-TTvox1 - Next Planet

/Volumes/Music/N/Next Planet/TT vox/Beacon-TTvox1.mp3

#EXTINF:40,Beacon-TTvox2 - Next Planet

/Volumes/Music/N/Next Planet/TT vox/Beacon-TTvox2.mp3

#EXTINF:30,Beacon-TTvox3 - Next Planet

/Volumes/Music/N/Next Planet/TT vox/Beacon-TTvox3.mp3

#EXTINF:72,Resist-TTvox - Next Planet

/Volumes/Music/N/Next Planet/TT vox/Resist-TTvox.mp3

#EXTINF:146,Chicky (Duttge vox) - Fischer's Flicker

/Volumes/Music/F/Fischer's Flicker/Rehearsals/2018/20180403 Rehearsal/Chicky (Duttge vox).mp3

#EXTINF:84,Chicky (Duttge vox)-2 - Fischer's Flicker

/Volumes/Music/F/Fischer's Flicker/Rehearsals/2018/20180403 Rehearsal/Chicky (Duttge vox)-2.mp3

#EXTINF:141,Chicky (Rick vox) - Fischer's Flicker

/Volumes/Music/F/Fischer's Flicker/Rehearsals/2018/20180403 Rehearsal/Chicky (Rick vox).mp3

I'm guessing there may be an issue with the '/Volumes/' portion of the location.
Also, I'm noticing that none of my "Rehearsals" albums are available in Emby under Fischer's Flicker.  I'd really like them there and I'm confused as to why they wouldn't be listed in the library now.

Are the media files within the playlists added to Emby Server using the exact same file paths? The tracks in the playlist need to be part of your Emby library in order for them to show up.
