Playlist Issue
I have the new version of VLC and it will not play xspf playlists. I can load a playlist but when I hit play to actually listen to the music the filenames of all the songs in the list just quickly all flash through in the track title box at the bottom. This is true of all the playlists I have tried. They all worked fine in previous versions. Thanks for any and all help.
Re: Playlist Issue
On Windows, vlc just changed the way the location is stored in xspf files to fully comply with Microsoft specs. (URI format)
Old xspf playlist may have problems to be read in vlc1.0.0.
If so, a trick can be to save them as a m3u playlist before getting rid of the old version, and then recreate a xspf file out of the m3u file in vlc1.0.0.
Another means is to edit the xspf file and make the small changes (location is now in the form file:///D:/path/file.ext), and it should work.
