New playlist format?

Postby SawyerX » 15 Dec 2008 00:50

This was the old format or coding.

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,1 - SLO1 (slovenski) udp://@239.255.0.1:5002

How would the new one look with names and everything? Since the player itself doesnt covert anything other then the url location.

What you mean by that? Artist name and track title?

Well its really simple. My new playlist looks like this.
<?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>
<location>C:\vlc.xspf</location>
<trackList>
<track>
<location>udp://@239.255.0.1:5002</location>
<title>1 - SLO1 (slovenski,nacionalni)</title>
<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
<vlc:id>1</vlc:id>
</extension>
</track>
<track>
<location>udp://@239.255.0.2:5002</location>
<title>2 - SLO2 (slovenski,nacionalni)</title>
<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
<vlc:id>2</vlc:id>
</extension>
</track>

Thats how the web interface now looks.

Thats how it used to look in x.8.x where it worked just fine.

Then there is another problem with the webinterface. Whenever I try to change a channel with it, VLC x.9.x just crashes. Its crazy unstable compared to x.8.x which wasnt the most stable thing on the planet either. Thats why I had to get firedaemon to automatically restart it when it crashed.

I guess it looks ok. http://www.shrani.si/f/1n/uZ/4oXmK6Ez/test2.jpg



EDIT: If you mean if i can click the QT under main interfaces. The naswer is no. When I enable it and save VLC. I can no longer use it. It will instantly crash when opened and my only option is to uninstall it.

Does the playlist work correctly in web interface if you change file extension from .m3u to .xspf ?

No. The first picture is xspf format. m3u Cant be streamed at all in vlc x.9.x. It starts playing locally instead streaming.

Well even if this works one day. The fact still remains that it crashes VLC each time when I change a channel with the web interface.
