m3u playlist not working with cloudplayer #120

Closed typxxi closed 2 years ago

typxxi commented 2 years ago

Cloudplayer is an android app for streaming audiofiles from the cloud, in my case from onedrive.

The app is checking the whole cloudstorage for new files of type *.m3u. Helmut Schmidt.m3u would create an audiobook in the cloudplayer app once the app has read all the mp3 files.

CURRENT ISSUE

the app does not recognice any of the files contained

WORKAROUND:

It took me quite a while to get behind all the issues cause I had also suffered from the Umlaut issues first like all the öäü and some other characters (not in case of audiobooks) till I found out that this app needs the m3u file in utf-8-bom format

Therefore each time I create a m3u file I also have to open the m3u file in notepad++ and do the conversion over the menu "coding - 'convert to utf-8-bom'" Not that big deal, but I usuall do these conversions only twice a year and if I forget about the right procedure over the coding - convert menu then the tracks will be missed in the app cause there is also a menu "coding - utf-8bom"

Therefore I would love to see an option for turning utf-8-bom on.

If I do save the m3u file this way the app will recognice the new playlist and create the book / album inside the app once the first track is read and retrieved. Without utf-8-bom the app will not show the album.

Of cause not highest priority but would help a lot. thx

Have you tried to alter the setting for m3u playlist encoding? Not sure what the default is, but you can switch between ISO-Latin-1 and UTF-8. If that is with or without BOM I can't tell. You'll find that option in the Basic Settings, tab Conversion.

I close this for now,. If you have any new findings, feel free to reopen.

Quite a bit late but now I am back again.

I checked the option mentioned and saved it but had no luck.

After Upload to dropbox and accessing from cloudplayer premium / android the M3U list did not appear

Then I opened the m3u file created by adiamus with notepad+ Notepad+ showed me under CODING / KODIERUNG that it is an ansi file, not utf-8-bom.

So I chose the conversion to utf-8-bom, saved the file, uploaded it and voila it did work. Your current option creates an ansi and not an utf-8-bom file.

Therefore an option as a choice between

ANSI - OR - utf-8-bom

could be pretty helpfull.

Thanks for the update. I'll put it on the todo list to check on the Byte Order Mark (BOM).

While working on the todos for version 1.18, I checked the BOM in the playlist file, using a hex editor. It's definitely there, if the playlist is created as UTF8. That's also the default behaviour, according to the .Net Framework documentation. BOM can be explicitly switched off, but I didn't do that. So, no changes here for 1.18.
