1st item in a M3U playlist

[simes_pep]

I have now converted a number of Roon Playlists to M3U based playlists stored in my Music Library.
These import directly into Roon, but on Asset the 1st item in the list is not included.
Asset 7.4 Beta 5 running on RPi2

I believe this was an issue in an earlier release - was there a solution?

Done - plus how the Playlist is displayed when served by Asset in the Naim App on iOS, and how it looks in Roon.

If you rename the playlist from .m3u to .m3u8 it should work. The data saved into the playlist is utf8 ant .m3u is not correct for utf8

Hi, Many thanks - yes, I have duly renamed my m3u files to m3u8 and they are now correctly served by Asset into the Naim App.
They also still import as m3u8 based Playlists into Roon, so all good.

One further question - can I get Artwork images for the Playlists? I have tried adding 'playlists' to the UpStreamArtFor config file, but I still get blank folders displayed.

I do not think you can.

Ok, that's a shame, as the list of empty folder icons for each playlist is a missed opportunity for some upstream Artist artwork.

Thanks,
Simon.
