Different parsers being used, so that the playlist is handled externally, before mplayer gets it, itself? You can simplify the playlist, quite a bit. You don't need the info, just the file lists. m3u files can simply be "file:///" prefixed filepaths, such as: file:///home/tim/music/one.ogg file:///home/tim/music/two.ogg And pls files can be simplified to: [playlist] NumberOfEntries=99 File41=/home/tim/music/one.ogg File42=/home/tim/music/two.ogg And, it doesn't seem to care that the number of entries is wrong, and the file numbers didn't start with "File01=". I dare say that if you use the playlist editor, it might insert the details that you add into the metadata in the playlist. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.2-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Sep 8 12:17:59 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
