#EXTALB tag from m3u playlist not recognized

[stevekaler]

Hi there,

I don't know wheter VLC has support for #EXTALB comments when importing a m3u playlist file or not.

Basically I have a playlist that looks like this:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:569,Rush - La Villa Strangiato #EXTALB:Working Man (Rush Tribute) #EXTART:Rush https://xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/ext/stream?player=20&id=2523&suffix=.mp3&jwt=XXXXXXXXXXXX #EXTALB:Working Man (Rush Tribute) #EXTART:Rush https://xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/ext/stream?player=20&id=2521&suffix=.mp3&jwt=XXXXXXXXXXXX

When I import the playlist, Title track and Author are recognized and imported perfectly, but not the #EXTALB which contains the Album Title.

Is there a way to import the Album Title from a m3u file?

Thanks
Steve

You are right, the EXTALB tag is currently not supported by VLC, only the related EXTALBUMARTURL tag is. I just created a ticket on our system (ticket 23674) so we don't forget about it. Thanks for your feedback!
