save-load-save xspf playlist results on nesting

Postby manolis » 13 Sep 2010 13:02

Hello.

When having playlist tree enabled, save-load-save action on the playlist (xspf format) results on playlist nesting

Here is the example ofor file "file1.ext" inside playlist folder "One" and "file2.ext" inside playlist folder "Two":

First save:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/"> <title>Playlist</title> <trackList> <track> <location>file:///file1.ext</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>0</vlc:id> </extension> </track> <track> <location>file:///file2.ext</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>1</vlc:id> </extension> </track> </trackList> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:node title="One"> <vlc:item tid="0" /> </vlc:node> <vlc:node title="Two"> <vlc:item tid="1" /> </vlc:node> </extension> </playlist>

Clearing the VLC playlist, loading the just saved xspf playlist, and saving it again results in:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/"> <title>Playlist</title> <trackList> <track> <location>file:///file1.ext</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>0</vlc:id> </extension> </track> <track> <location>file:///file2.ext</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>1</vlc:id> </extension> </track> </trackList> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:node title="test.xspf"> <vlc:node title="One"> <vlc:item tid="0" /> </vlc:node> <vlc:node title="Two"> <vlc:item tid="1" /> </vlc:node> </vlc:node> </extension> </playlist>

As you can see there is an additional "vlc:node title=text.xspf" after.

This results in the VlC playlist displaying a new "Playlist" super-folder in which there is a "test.xspf" sub-playlist that includes "One" and "Two".

I do not know whether it's a windows-only thing but since I cannot test it on any other system, I post it in the windows forum.


Is this something intentional or a bug?
