(DB) Pick the .m3u file for multiple CD games for scanning #2292

Open sergiobenrocha2 opened 8 years ago

RA should pick the .m3u file instead when scanning multiple CD games, like Final Fantasy VII (PlayStation).

A .m3u entry in the playlist does not have any info. Is it reasonable to have info from all the CDs inside the m3u?

Are there any plans on how to handle this? Or are you open to suggestions?

I might want to give it a try as my first contribution to an open source project, but I can't promise anything.

How would this work? CD media usually uses .cue files?

.m3u files are just a list of titles and filenames, arn't they? It's possible that we could target the individual files instead of the playlist files.
