Question about playlist

[hardliner]

Can I create a playlist on my Windows computer then copy that over to my Android device and it still be used?

I have a feeling I can't considering the files for the playlist will be located in one place and on the Android device would be in a different location.

You need to copy the playlist and all the related files.

This is an incomplete response. Where does this file reside on Android? I have seen on the web it should be stored in /data/data/org.videolan.vlc/app_db/vlc_media.db. No such file exists. I have also tried to search find . | grep -i vlc and it only yields a few files.

I have created a playlist on Android but I cannot find the file. I have a few thousand titles that I need to add to the playlist but it is impractical to do it individually. I need to look at the format of the entries and determine the URI, and what to do about whitespace and special characters in file names. Where is the guide on this?

Well, copy somewhere on you phone, and open it through the browser in vlc by going to the same directory.

The playlist need to be compliant and have correct path though.

I have all my audio files in individual folders based on artist on my SD card in my galaxy S10+. I created a playlist on my PC for those artists and tried saving as an XSPF file and an M3U file. Both of which VLC sees and displays, yet the playlists are blank because of the specific path names in the files. I have the files on the android device in a Music folder on the SD card.

How do I create this playlist on the PC to be compatible with the galaxy?

THis is very frustrating
