m3u import improvement suggestion

[evil_beast666 4]

Hi!

 

The m3u import feature is great but I have noticed that there are problems when saving the lists in Windows and importing them into an Emby server with Linux. The problem comes with the slash and backslash characters. I give an example:

 

I have generated my m3u in Windows. It would look like this:

dir\subdir\song.mp3
dir\subdir\song2.mp3

The result in my Emby Linux server after rescan: "playlist empty".

 

 

Then I edit the list and replace the backslash with the normal slash. It would look like this: 

dir/subdir/song.mp3
dir/subdir/song2.mp3

The result in my Emby Linux server after rescan: "playlist generation successfully".

 

I suppose that this could also happen in the opposite case (Linux client, windows server) but I think it would be a very strange case.

 

It's easy for me do the slash substitution, but if the server could do the automatic substitution it would be great

 

 

Thanks a lot!
