The VideoLAN Forums

In case anyone has the same problem, here is the XSLT I have used to fix up my existing XSPF files (of the flavour created by Sift project) to work in VLC 1.1.x. May need adapting if you want to keep more information than just the creator, album, title and duration for each track. NB: This experimen...

Does anyone know how I could verify whether or not it is a bug?

Or where I could find the ticket relating to the change that altered this functionality?

Thanks

I was previously using VLC 1.0.5 and when I upgraded to 1.1.2 yesterday found out that VLC now won't load songs from my XSPF playlists that use a URL (of the form file://localhost/C:/folder/song.mp3 instead of file path C:\folder\song.mp3). It gets an I/O error as if it can't understand the file loc...

If the format file://localhost/X: is not recommended, then what is recommended? Where can I find out more about what VLC expects? Thanks.

Thanks jb and erwan. Erwan, are you saying the URI in my XSPF is an invalid URI or it just doesn't work in VLC?

Also wondering why this wouldn't be enforced by the XSPF schema, but that's another topic.

I'm putting this here in the forum because I couldn't find a ticket about it opened on Trac. Saving an XSPF playlist that wasn't originally generated in VLC generates invalid XML (and by that fact invalid XSPF). I'm not sure why this doesn't happen with the VLC-generated XSPF but perhaps the seriali...

Donama, same as here. Cheers

Jb, I tried to register and log into the TRAC system but it doesn't work. It says: "TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation" Can you please either give me privileges to create a new ticket or log this bug yourself for me with the following text? Problem: VLC 1.0.5 f...

I have just noticed at http://wiki.videolan.org/XSPF that it appears VLC may only support the vlc extensions to XSPF which is fine and to be expected. My problem is that I don't want to have to manually edit or transform dozens of play lists, just to comment out unsupported extensions. Why can't VLC...

I have a handcrafted XSPF play list file which validates against Sebastian Pipping's Online XSPF validator (http://validator.xspf.org/) Actually, it was originally generated by the Sift Project iTunes -> XSPF transform, but that is beside the point since it validates. Pasting the XML so you can see ...
