Playlists launching not working with Ptunes.

[6characters]

I added .m3u files in the music view.
Then under programs to use, I added Ptunes to .m3u.
When I went to the music view, I saw the playlists that I had there.
However, when I launched the playlist, ptunes did not play the music.

It seems that *.m3u files are being sent to ptunes as music files and not playlists. So ptunes attempts to play the file as an mp3 file and cannot. This needs to be fixed so that Ptunes can open the playlist and play all the songs on the playlist.

An additional fix would be to allow the music view to view directories of music files. Then allow all the files in a directory to be selected and played.

It seems pretty pointless to use propel to only play one song at a time.

Thanks.

Hi,

This function works fine with pTunes version 3, but there is a bug in pocket tunes v 4 which causes it to crash.

The folks at pocket tunes do know about this, and I'm hopeful that they'll sort it soon.

you are right that this is annoying! As you say, playlists are the most sensible way to use propel for launching music beyond the occasional track...

I'm using Ptunes version 3.1.8

When I select the m3u file, I get the ptunes console but nothing plays. When I open ptunes, I see that the m3u filename is where the track is supposed to be and nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using 3.09 and it does launch and play.
when I launch it though, it crashes.

I suspect we'll have to wait until the pTunes put in a fix to get a proper resolution here...
