playlist bug

Postby elitedata » 16 Mar 2022 17:23

to reproduce this:
1) create a playlist with this URL: https://stream-cdn.vaughnsoft.net/play/live_0r_bot.flv
2) save the playlist as vaughn.xspf
3) open the playlist and add another URL to the playlist: https://stream-cdn.vaughnsoft.net/play/live_b_o_t.flv
4) save the playlist as the same name (overwrite the existing file)
5) open the playlist, now there are two folders appearing in VLC with the same name of the playlist "vaughn.xspf" (see example picture below)
this additional folder is created every time you add a URL to the playlist and save it as the same name (overwrite the existing file) due to "<vlc:node title="vaughn.xspf">" being created each time the playlist is saved.
i have to manually delete these additional code lines in the "vaughn.xspf" file to correct this issue, there should be only one of each:

Code: Select all

<vlc:node title="vaughn.xspf"> </vlc:node>
