I have all my music files on my laptop. On my laptop I have some playlists generated with Mediaplayer 11. I use these playlists e.g. on my MP3 player too.
On my htpc I have a copy of all my music files (in the same sub-directories). I copied all playlists from my laptop to my htpc. When I load a playlist with mediaportal it shows all music files that belong to this playlist. But when I try to play a music file I get an error "...audio codec..." and the music doesn't start playing.

Is there a way to use the Mediaplayer 11 playlists with MP?

    1. the log is needed to help you.
    2. open the file in an editor. i'm sure the pathes are in "..\..\..." notation. this can cause problems

    but we would probably see that from the log

    Hi,
    here is an example of a playlist made with Windows Mediaplayer 11 on my laptop.

    I know that there is a difference between playlists made with Windows Mediaplayer 11 and Mediaportal itself. But I would like to use the playlists made with Windows Mediaplayer 11 on my laptop.

    Here you go. As expected:
    <media src="..\Kuschelrock\Kuschelrock 1\Kuschelrock 01 CD 2\03 - Caravan Of Love - Isley Jasper Isley.mp3

    the relative path is not recognised by MP. Where are you loading the playlists from into MP?
    is the Folder "Kuschelrock" really one level up of the folder where you load the playlist from?

    Great! Now it's working.
    I only had to put my playlist folder in the "my music" folder parallel to all my other music folders and that's it.
    :D

    Hello,
    I've got a similar problem.
    But with winamp Playlists instead of Mediaplayer

    There is the same structure on the MediaPortal HDD as on the external HDD i use at my Laptop.

    I've copied the Playlistfolder to different Directories, but in Mediaportal it doesen't work.

    I always get the audio codec Error

    With other Players like VLC, Mediaplayer or Winamp i've got no Prolem.


    I hope anyone can help me!

    Best Regards
    Bastian

    Look into the playlist file.
    are the pathes specified there correct, from where you load the playlist itself?

    With the Editor it looks like this:

    Code:
    #EXTM3U
    #EXTINF:255,AC/DC - Back In Black
    \Audio\ACDC\ACDC [1980] - Back In Black\ACDC - Back In Black.mp3
    #EXTINF:312,AC/DC - Hells Bells
    \Audio\ACDC\ACDC [1980] - Back In Black\ACDC - Hells Bells.mp3
    #EXTINF:207,AC/DC - Highway To Hell
    .
    .
    .
