peti Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi, I have run into a strange phenomenon where Poweramp displays only the first 3 entries of a play list actually has 10 entries. I have a folder called "Mercedes Sosa - Será posible el sur" with a file "Mercedes Sosa - Será posible el sur.m3u" in it. The contents of that file are: Quote 01 - Todavía Cantamos.mp3 02 - Corazón de Estudiante.mp3 03 - Agosot en Tucumán.mp3 04 - Pequeña.mp3 05 - Todo Cambia.mp3 06 - Será Posible el Sur.mp3 07 - Como Pájaros en el Aire.mp3 08 - Siembra.mp3 09 - Mi Abuela Bailó la Zamba.mp3 10 - Vira Viro.mp3 Now, each of those files exists and play okay in other apps. But when I select that play list in Poweramp, all I see is title 1 to 3. I have attached a screen shot called buggy-playlist.jpg that shows the state. If I select the same album in folder view, then Poweramp display it correctly. I have re-scanned my entire library a few times and I have also tried deleting and re-adding the playlist, but those attempts have not made any difference. I am using Poweramp v3-build-820-play (Full Version) on a Galaxy S9 phone running Lineage OS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Most likely it is the non-ASCII characters that are throwing the process. Try renaming the .M3U files as .M3U8 (which is sometimes enough) or make sure they are saved in extended UTF-8 text format rather than plain ASCII. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peti Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 You were right, renaming the file to use a "*.m3u8" suffix fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
