M3U playlists can not contain backslashes in file path #2432

Have you tried everything in the Troubleshooting FAQ and reviewed the Open and Closed Issues and Discussions to resolve this yourself?

The problem

My playlist were generated by Windows Media Player. The file path contains backslashes, which are typical for the Windows file system. When I add the playlists to MA as a Provider, they appear empty and the MA log contains errors.

To verify backslashes were the issue, I manually replaced the backslashes with forward slashes and the song appeared in the MA playlist.

How to reproduce

Create a M3U playlist with a single song entry. If needed, change the file pathname for the song to use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Example: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,01 - Prologue.mp3 ..\Loreena McKennitt\The Book of Secrets\01 - Prologue.mp3

Music Providers

1) Open Windows Media Player 2) create a playlist 3) File > Save Now Playing list as... 4) Save playlist as M3U format
