Title: Small but important feature request: relative path in m3u export
Post by: buhrmi on July 27, 2004, 02:46:00 pm

Hi,

would be nice if Media Center would have an option to use relative paths when exporting m3u playlists for things like file synching.

Relative to what?  You could take a look at scott_r's "MC XML Export" and maybe make your own XSLT.

When I have a file F:\Multimedia\Music\Charts\We own - Tophit.mp3 and export a playlist to F:\Multimedia\Playlist\charts.m3u it shall use the path ..\Music\Charts\We own - Tophit.mp3 instead of the full path. When I sync my Multimedia folder to an other computer the playlist will still work then.

That seems to be an arbitrary relativity.  Just use a search/replace (i.e. search on "F:\Multimedia" and replace "") against the final m3u file.

Or, as I suggested before, create a XSLT that will do this for you automatically...  but in a sense you'd need to create your own m3u from an MPL...  probably more more than you'd like.

Yes, sure... That would be much fun for 10+ Playlists everytime they change ^^

If you get MC XML Export working for you are you're comfortable using it to export your playlists, I will write you the XSLT.
