setting media to a playlist file

I'm trying to open playlist (.pls) files but nothing seems to happen
I can open video and music files with no problem
example
media = libvlc_media_new_path(vlcInstance,"C:\\classicalmusic.pls");
is there a different routine used for opening pls files or is there something else I need to do?

As far as i know, libvlc_media_new_* is for a single media file or url, it can't handle playlist files.

It handle it but when the media is played vlc will parse the playlist and create subitem to the media. Look for the subitems and AFAIK you will find the medias you are looking for.

Does it play the subitems automatically ?

media_list_player does that. Not the plain media_player

Ok, so i was half wrong and half right, as i was thinking about media_player only.
