Official moOde 8 support thread

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi all,
I have a little problem editing my playlists.
For some of them nothing happens if  I klick on edit playlist.
Is there a logfile I can have a look at to see whats going on?
If Yes, can someone please point me in the right direction.
I'm using Moode 8.1.2, 32 Bit installation, Pi 4B, 4GB.

Thanks in advance

Did you create the playlists in 8.1.x ?

I've created the playlists on my windows pc using the software musicbee.
I can play the music, i.e. I klick on the Playlist and add the music to the play queue. That works fine. But for some lists (all lists were generated the same way) nothing happens when I klick on "Edit playlist".

Kind regards

Sorry, but how did you import your playlists from Musicbee to moOde and where did you store them? What format are they in and what file extension do they have?

There are a number of different playlist file formats in use these days. From its documentation I gather that Musicbee can generate many of them and MPD has been compiled for moOde with plugins for a number of them (notably M3U, Extended M3U, XSPF, PLS). 

However, the moOde/MPD playlist files reached using the Library pulldown menu specifically are in Extended M3U format, have the file extension .m3u, and are stored in /var/lib/mpd/playlists. Although they should include the #EXTGENRE: and #EXTIMG: directives I just confirmed that I can edit a playlist file (via "Edit playlist") which lacks them.

Regards,
Kent
