Emby on Linux is unable to read playlists created on Windows

[ManiacDC 8]

I'm currently using Foobar2000 to manage my music collection, but I have my music indexed by Emby so I can play it on other devices more conveniently. When I export my playlists from Foobar2000, they use relative paths, but the paths contain windows style `\` separators instead of unix style `/` separators. I have to then open them in an editor like vscode and search and replace.

Seems pretty simple to switch the path separators in memory to match Emby's OS upon reading the playlist file. (Linux Emby could read Windows playlists, and Windows Emby could read Unix playlists). Would this be feasible? Edge case handling may be rough, but there are probably libraries to simplify this. Thanks!

 

On a side note, I wouldn't care about this at all if Emby had auto playlists that could read custom tags...

HI, yes we are looking into it:

Thanks.

Oops, I saw that, but didn't read far enough down. Thank you!
