Playlists don't seem to work?
#1
Hey there.

I mostly use my music library through playlist, so I was kinda disappointed to find that none of my playlists actually worked. I originally ported my playlists over from my HiBy R3 Pro, changing the m3u files it puts out to the .playlist format that's described on the wiki. Playing those files, it would see the correct amount of entries, but it would just skip over each entry without showing any song data. Later i created completely fresh .playlist files with only one song each, one without a starting / and the other with one, but both do the same thing.

I confirmed that the files are in the correct folders and that I can play them when opened directly.
I can upload my playlists on request, but to me it looks like they just fundamentally do not work.

It seems the recent changes to the queue in 1.1.12 caused playlists to break. It's already fixed at main, and will be fixed in the next release which is coming very soon. Sorry about that!

I'm running 1.3.1, and I'm getting the same issue with playlists set up as in the documentation skipping every track without playing any of them. Has this bug come back?

There's another known issue currently affecting playlists with Windows line endings, which has been fixed in main but not yet in a firmware release. If you're using a Windows computer to write or edit the files that might be the issue here. If the playlist is skipping the tracks, it means there was some issue finding the file. This can also happen if the filepaths in the playlist don't match how they appear on the Tangara (for example, if you use a tool like beets convert to copy to the SD card).
