unavailable files in XSPF playlists are not imported #5239

dev-jam commented 8 years ago

When opening a XSPF playlist, unavailable files are not imported. This results in not knowing what files/songs are missing. PLS and M3U files do import unavailable files and are greyed out when this is selected in the settings.

Additionally, it would be nice to have a 'find' feature when right clicking an unavailable file to search the song in your library. Or an option to drag and drop the file/song in the search box of the media library.

Using clementine 1.3rc1 on debian jessie. Same problem occurs with the official debian version which has XSPF formatting problems.

At the very least we need to return an error showing that stuff was dropped from the playlist, ideally with a count of songs dropped. In an ideal situation, we'd have an option to auto-match the title and other metadata from the playlist (if present) to songs in the library, and have this for any playlist format which provides more than just a location.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty certain that WPL playlists import unavailable songs as well, so it looks like it's just XSPF format that has this issue.
