[BUG] Imports M3U but Displays Wrong Music

[Nadim147c]

Expected Behavior

The tracks in the playlist should match those in the M3U file.

Current Behavior

When importing M3U playlists into the music player, the playlist loads, but the tracks include a random track (most likely name starting with a number). Additionally, metadata of the tracks that are included in the m3u files aren't shown.

Additional Information

1. The m3u file uses 'lf' (\n) and relative path. Here's the head of the file.

   #EXTM3U
   #EXTINF:0,Hold Of Me
   ./Hold Of Me [6dIZb64N6ICAWrf1RJrKfB].mp3
   #EXTINF:1,7 Minutes
   ./7 Minutes [6FYbr9QzRoZPh0Re8lDO9z].mp3
   #EXTINF:2,A Place We Knew
   ./A Place We Knew [3Pbvin812FYYIh8cnHSSEz].mp3

2. I tried the same thing with the beta version and got the same result.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Namida.
2. Import any M3U file (a playlist from a local file).
3. Check the list of songs displayed.

this seems like an issue with path parsing, the "Anne-Marie - 2002" is repeated on purpose right?

i did a fix in a0fc75e8cda7352bd27654c79dad36e43927a1f6, pls try out the beta v4.3.0 from https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases/

[Nadim147c]

Hey @MSOB7YY, I updated to the latest snapshot and the metadata bug seems to be fixed. But invalid track is still existing.

My “.m3u” files actually looked like this:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:0,Hold Of Me
./Hold Of Me [6dIZb64N6ICAWrf1RJrKfB].mp3

#EXTINF:1,7 Minutes
./7 Minutes [6FYbr9QzRoZPh0Re8lDO9z].mp3

#EXTINF:2,A Place We Knew
./A Place We Knew [3Pbvin812FYYIh8cnHSSEz].mp3

I thought empty lines couldn't cause any issue but turns out I was wrong. The issue is the empty lines, and removing them from the “.m3u” files fix all the playlist.

i see, thanks for literally debugging lmao i just added a check for empty lines just in case, will be available in 4.3.5 or later https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases, thank you <3

Hi! Sorry for bump this issue.

I think I got the same issue in here, cmiiw. I already try to use your latest beta atm (4.4.4) and I still got the issue. Here's the screen record and screenshot that might help to explain the issue.

Spoiler warning

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/101d6d57-badc-4ae7-86d5-50a31a92296b 

The issue occurred when I try to play any music that came from playlist. The miniplayer and expanded fullscreen player is just showing the file name and not the metadata. But if I play it through the Tracks, Artist, or Album menu it works fine.

The content of my m3u8 playlist is looks like this, immediately giving the media path without any starting or ending comments/texts. This is auto-generated by some music-service importer. I don't know if these contents causing the issue.

../../Bring Me The Horizon/DArkSide - Single/01 DArkSide.m4a
../../Bring Me The Horizon/That's the Spirit/02 Happy Song.m4a
../../Bring Me The Horizon/Sempiternal (Deluxe)/04 Sleepwalking.m4a

@ahmadnbl i see, i will test ur m3u and improve parsing. apparently i didnt give much attention for relative paths

[MSOB7YY]

@ahmadnbl should be fixed in 156742a75f8b39b870b34c5180631a907430900b (beta v4.4.6 https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases/), can you check?

[ahmadnbl]

@MSOB7YY I'm sorry last week I'm on vacation so I just read your reply :D

I tried using latest beta 4.5.2 and it still not showing the metadata

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/24e6c0bc-531f-4795-af80-e589dca798a6

If I compare the song properties that came from "Track Tab" and "Playlist Tab", here's the result

Track	Playlist

[Nadim147c]

Hey @MSOB7YY, playlist metadata isn't working after upgrading to 4.4.6-beta or later (Haven't tested 4.4.4). The last working playlist metadata was 4.3.0-beta.

[MSOB7YY]

@ahmadnbl damn its bcz one path starts with / and the other doesnt. u can fix by adding / in all paths in the m3u file or wait till i do smth about it ig

[MSOB7YY]

@Nadim147c u got the same issue as above? pls explain

[Nadim147c]

Sorry, I forgot to attach screenshots.	v4.4.4-beta	Latest snapshot

You fixed that issue but the issue on this comment/commit

i did a fix in a0fc75e, pls try out the beta v4.3.0 from https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases/
