Directories in M3U files?
brianary:
I tried hand-creating an M3U file that consisted entirely of directories, hoping the contents would be automatically added, but all of the entries show up marked with ERR.
I'd like to do something like this:
--- Code: ---/podcasts/castA
/podcasts/castN
/podcasts/castQ
--- End code ---
...and have the contents of each of those folders, which tend to change frequently, pulled into the current playlist.
Is this currently possible? Am I doing something wrong?

The m3u:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U
spec does not allow you to do that.

I'm not sure, but I think you could just do that with a custom Tagnavi entry?
brianary:
Good idea. I'll give that a try.
Thanks!

That's funny, that's the article that gave me the idea! Check out the second example.
M3U doesn't seem to be a specification in the formal sense, anyway, and its behavior for directory entries is not prohibited (at least, not that I've seen), so it seems quite reasonable behavior.
