Import Playlist into VLC for Android

Postby Ambre » 06 Feb 2018 17:24

Hey guys,

I have Mi A1 with some mp3 m4a that I imported with iSyncr from Itunes. I add the direct folder to get all the songs and I did, but for some reason the playlist doesn't synchronise with VLC. The formats are m3UI and plb and they are located in the same folder.

Do you have an idea with there are not on the app also?
Thank you

:)

Version 3.0 brings back playlist files support (like .m3u) so you can use it to import it in VLC.
Register to beta if you want to get it sooner.

Hey Dekans,

Thank you for your response. I download the Beta and indeed the playlists are showing. But there aren't any songs in it.. They are all empty.
Do you know what it could be?

Thank you :)

Edit: Wait, I was looking at the version and it's say that I'm on the beta but the version is 2.9.1, is that correct?

It is correct yes. Are your playlists containing files with characters such as '[', white spaces?
Actually if you could paste a small part of your playlist I suppose it would help :)

Hey Chouquette :)

Do you mean this kind of space "%20" ? If so, yes, I don't recall "[" but for sure "(", electronics musics usually got "(Original Mix)", "(John Doe Remix), etc.. As you can see on the second screen, there are also letter with accents, mostly from French and Spanish songs.
I tried playing a playlist (Uplifting) opening it with the file manager but it also doesn't work. :(

I also run a log of the application, maybe it could help : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YXxYO ... cNxMI_o4xk

Please try again with 3.0.3 (in beta for now), which should contain the required fixes!

Hey Chouquette!

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it did not. I can see all my playlist but they're all empty.
And when I try adding one manually, this is what I see. Whereas it's on the SD or local memory.

Hey,

Saw the new update but still not working. Any ideas how to fix it or I should switch to other player for my audio files and only use it for video?

Thank you :)

3.0.5: Still not working perfect, e.g. xspf

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/"> <trackList> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Patches/Pause10.m4a</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Slowfox/SF28BrownEyeBlues.mp3</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Patches/Pause10.m4a</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Slowfox/SF29HaveIToldYouLatelyThatILoveYou.mp3</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Patches/Pause10.m4a</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Slowfox/SF29PenniesFromHeaven.m4a</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Patches/Pause10.m4a</location> </track> <track> <location>file:///mnt/sdcard/Music/Waltz/LW25MoonRiver.mp3</location> </track> </trackList> </playlist>
works fine when opening the playlist as file from directories menu, but the imported playlist (menu Audio -> Playlists) shows Pause10 only once as first entry and not between all titles. Note: pause files are used due to lacking <location>vlc://pause:10</location> feature.

Thank you for your response. Still doesn't work, I switch to another app, maybe in the future I will go back to Vlc.
