m3u files

[jgauthier 13]

I dropped an M3U file into my music area and rescanned.  The playlist is found but claimed to be empty.  Upon digging, I can confirm the file entries match the actual file locations.

How can I troubleshoot this?

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? Thanks.

Sure.

My m3u files (first 10-15 lines) looks like this:

#EXTM3U
