Title: Backslash and Forwardslash in playlists
Post by: duraf on December 12, 2020, 11:51:48

Hi.
Separator for path to files of m3u playlist is \ for Windows and / for Android. Not all apps handle both. Aimp (under Windows) does, Jellyfin (free open source media center on my Raspberry) doesn't. So, I can't easily create playlists that can be used on any of my devices (computer, NAS, server box, phone, Raspberry....) ; I have to manually change \ to / and vice versa (thanks to PsPad editor which mak it rather easy).
Suggestion : Would be nice to have a check box for choosing \ or / when saving playlist.
Thanks for reading my suggestion, answering... and adding check box  :)   Thanks for developping Aimp which is an excellent tool.

So, its mean that each app that can handle the M3U files should have this check box, right?

Hi.

Sorry to answer so late, thought I would receive an email informing me my question had an answer.

No need for applications to have a slash option. Just in Aimp so that I can choose which slash format (/ or \) I want to use when I save a list with Aimp (which can read both but only uses "\" when creating a new item in a list or a new list).
Saving :
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:256,Fantastic Negrito - How Long? [Explicit]
../Musique/Fantastic Negrito/Have You Lost Your Mind yet [Explicit]/03 - How Long_ [Explicit].mp3
#EXTINF:378,Silence Radio - En Cavale
../Musique/Silence Radio/Les Rock Est Mort/3-En Cavale.mp3
#EXTINF:379,Silence Radio - Le Marteau et l'Enclume
../Musique/Silence Radio/Les Rock Est Mort/10-Le Marteau Et L'enclume.mp3
#EXTINF:176,Pretenders - Lightning Man
../Musique/Pretenders/Hate For Sale/3-Lightning Man.mp3
if I check "/" in Aimp saving option

or saving
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:256,Fantastic Negrito - How Long? [Explicit]
..\Musique\Fantastic Negrito\Have You Lost Your Mind yet [Explicit]\03 - How Long_ [Explicit].mp3
#EXTINF:378,Silence Radio - En Cavale
..\Musique\Silence Radio\Les Rock Est Mort\3-En Cavale.mp3
#EXTINF:379,Silence Radio - Le Marteau et l'Enclume
..\Musique\Silence Radio\Les Rock Est Mort\10-Le Marteau Et L'enclume.mp3
#EXTINF:176,Pretenders - Lightning Man
..\Musique\Pretenders\Hate For Sale\3-Lightning Man.mp3
if I choose "\" in Aimp saving option.

Hope it's clearer now.

Happy new year !
