Playlist doesn't load all songs
Posted: 04 Mar 2014 09:13
Hi,
I've been googling and looking around on this forum for quite a bit and I couldn't find a solution to my problem so I decided to make a post myself.
A few days ago I made a playlist for some songs in which I filtered out a ton of songs I didn't like, however opening it today it didn't load all songs into VLC.
The issue with this is that it didn't give any errors at all, it just stopped loading the playlist file after a few songs out of many more songs.
So thinking it was just a bug because I had over 1000 songs in that playlist I decided to make a smaller list today to enjoy and tried reloading it after making it, and it worked.
This evening when I wanted to listen to the music again the playlist still "bugged out" again.
Below is an image of my VLC player (version 2.1.3) with the songs it loaded and below that is the .xspf file that contains what needs to be loaded.
The player:
The .xspf file:
As you can see it only loads 17 songs out of the 38 songs.
I've tried re-installing VLC and using my other system to check if it was my laptop freaking out but in all cases the playlist stopped loading after those 17 songs.
I hope anyone knows how to solve this!

I've tried re-installing VLC and using my other system to check if it was my laptop freaking out but in all cases the playlist stopped loading after those 17 songs.
I hope anyone knows how to solve this!
