[PROBLEM] Uploaded playlist won't play

[TheOldPresbyope]

I have a few Pis around the house running Moode.  I have several playlists I made on one Pi which I then saved and uploaded to the other devices.  But, they will not play.  I click the icon and choose "clear/play" nothing happens.  If I navigate the folders and play the songs individually, they work fine.  The playlists work on the device I used to create them.  All songs are stored on an NFS shared folder.

Hi, Mike.

I just tried this with two moOde 8.3.3 players. I created a TestCopy playlist on one; the playlist consisting of two tracks from an NFS server. Copied the /var/lib/mpd/playlists/TestCopy.m3u file to the same location on the second player. Refreshed the Playlists panel so TestCopy would appear and now I when I hit clear/play for it the two tracks show up in the Queue and the first starts playing. [Note: this is true even if the permissions on the copied-over playlist file are pi:pi instead of root:root. However, if the permissions aren't correct then the second player can't edit the playlist from the WebUI.]

Maybe you should be more explicit about "...which I then saved and uploaded to the other devices."

Also, the NFS share has to be referenced the same on each player or the links will be wrong and the playlist won't work. In my example,

Code:

pi@m833p4b:/var/lib/mpd/playlists $ cat TestCopy.m3u
#EXTGENRE:
#EXTIMG:default
NAS/OMV-Test/TestTracks/Edith Piaf/The Best of Edith Piaf/lp_the-best-of-edith-piaf_edith-piaf_0_disc1side1.flac
NAS/OMV-Test/TestTracks/Hyperion/14 Clementi Piano Sonata in D major, Op 25 No 6 - Movement 2 Un poco andante.flac

Every player I might copy this playlist to must also mount the share as "OMV-Test" or they won't do anything when I click clear/play.

Kent
