When I try to import some playlists with Internet radio stations, the imports fail with this message:

Code: [Select]

Adding: C:\Documents and Settings\Alex Brown\My Documents\My Music\Internet Radio\Digitally Imported\Digitally Imported_ Chillout.m3u
    Failed to analyze / add
Also, I have not figured out how yet, but my internet radio playlists keep getting erased!  It is driving me CRAZY as it is really hard to import them again!!  I guess I will try a few more times in order to attempt to figure out why this is happening.  Has anyone else seen this?

Another set of internet radio URLs got erased from a playlist.  All I can add is:
1)  Installed newest version of MC11 198.
2)  Connected to MC over the network as a client.

Oddly, the one I use most is erased, but others appear intact.

2)  Connected to MC over the network as a client.

If you're using Media Server or Library Server, any changes you make on the client are not saved.  The server library is read only.

I understand that, I figure that connecting in this way may have had something to do with it.

All I know is I connect to MC as a client.  On the server I have my playlists including my playlists for Internet Radio.

I connected to the server today and a few of my internet radio playlists are now empty (Though some others are still full).  This has happend before.

I'm 98% sure there is a hidden bug in MC as I do not normally use MC on the "server" box.  Given the read-only nature...

Have you imported any other files? If import has removed radio stations it's not a hidden bug. It's a reported bug.

Until the last version MC thought that every library entry that has not a physical file on the disk was a broken link. They got removed if "Fix or remove broken links" was enabled when importing. Now it should be fixed for CUE entries. I don't know if it is fixed also for URL entries.

Another thing is why MC doesn't accept URL .m3u playlists. Perhaps it tries to find the physical files for checking them.

[ahbrown41]

Yeah I think it looks for the physical files and that is why they are not imported.

The deleting playlist items is a mystery to me.  Have not yet figured out exactly how it happens...
