Those are two completely different things. The Database has nothing to do with Playlists. The Playlists entry in the menu simply lists all playlist files that are stored in the /Playlists folders. No Database involved at all. The Database doesn't handle playlists.

pondlife:
Barmy idea - maybe the Playlist Catalog should cover all storage - i.e. with a database-like scan?  If you have dircache enabled, the file tree has probably been parsed anyway... and that's one less "special directory".

This could be a third browser (i.e. file/database/playlists) and seperated from the file browser completely.  (Saving/renaming/deleting a playlist file would need to keep synced - again dircache-like.)

It would definitely save a multitude of extra steps. :)

No info on how to get the player to save the lists into the actual Playlist folder instead of onto the player's root?

bluebrother:
Enter the path of the file you want to use?

jim234567:
I have to enter "/Playlists/(name of list)" on the little virtual keyboard?

When I save presets or themes or anything else it seems, they automatically go into their proper respective folders... Why are playlists different?

???

I'll just continue reconnecting it to my computer afterward to move them there rather than fumble with the player itself trying to enter all that in.

Thanks for the answer.


Edit:
I see it now, it does not put "/Playlists/(name).m3u8" like it does "/fmpresets/(name).fmr" for example.  Bug?
