Title: AIMP playlist change relative path
Post by: Cascassus on November 23, 2022, 12:26:09

Hello,

is it possible to change the relative path playlists are based on when exporting/importing settings? I want to import my old playlists on a new device with all the files being the same inside the folder, but the filepath of the folder itself has changed. As far as I can tell, AIMP just looks for the same absolute path and obviously fails.

I wanted to edit the playlist paths myself in the aimpbpl files, however I can't seem to open them with any standard encoding(UTF-8, UTF-16 etc.).

Thanks in advance!

In v3.30, we have introduced the "find misplaced files" function. It should help to recover file references in playlist after import it

Thanks, I joined the beta branch and found the feature. However, it seems to just empty the playlist despite claiming that the operation was successfully completed. I selected the parent folder of all the individual albums. Does it have a delay, or maybe I need to be more specific? Maybe it's a bug I should report?

No, it does not deleted items that were not found. Please, can you share your playlist and provide to me step-by-step instruction to reproduce an issue?

It seems that the playlist is cleared as soon as I try to play one of the displaced files.

I attached some screenshots about the order of things (I double checked that the folder with the files is not empty)

(Sorry, forgot the playlist at first)

As I see on IMG_20221124_082039 picture, the playlist is already empty (before you've selected the action). Its looks so strange.
Please, can you record the video with all action that you have made?

Well, it looks like the playlist entries disappear as soon as I try to play one of them.
I attached a zipped video.

I imported the above playlist file beforehand.

Thx a lot, that seems to have fixed it!

One thing I noticed is that when I imported my old settings now, it briefly closes/minimizes and then reopens the application. Not sure if that was intended or not, so I think I should mention it.

But I can now import all the songs with the Find automatically feature, so that works perfectly!
