using vlc android with playlists

[modaniel]

Hi,

I have created a playlist with an m3u format (see example below) on my PC and i would like to use it on my phone. I can't seem to get VLC to recognise it or indeed any XSPF file for that matter. Does it support them?
If so, will it support passing options to VLC e.g. as shown in the example below.

cheers,
Daniel

It's not exposed in the UI but you can use Open MRL or directory view and it should work.

I have tried vlc.playMRL but not work,neither local .m3u file or http link,such as:

http://58.59.11.67:8001/v/dld/tst.m3u

or:

#EXTM3U
http://vod.cntv.lxdns.com/flash/mp4vide ... ac32-1.mp4
http://vod.cntv.lxdns.com/flash/mp4vide ... ac32-2.mp4

I'm using VLC for Android 1.0.

this is my experience when I open an .m3u file manager like file expert and specify that VLC open the file.

Weird. I'll look into it again.

While you're doing that, if at all possible, can you check XSPF functionality (my post at https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=123146 )?

TIA.

Tried it with latest nightlies by going to Open MRL and putting in http://58.59.11.67:8001/v/dld/tst.m3u and it seems to populate the playlist just fine.

and how to open local m3u file in directory view if it's not shown by vlc ?
