To create relative playlists I use a small java app from http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/itunesexport/ (the app creates m3u playlists from iTunes playlists). I use the -musicpath parameter to override absolute paths and define a relative location

-musicPath="..iTunes MediaMusic"

My itunes library sits on a NAS drive and I access that via smb. Up to now I had playlists sitting in iTunesplaylists (songs are in iTunesiTunes MediaMusic). Due to this (bug?) I now have playlists up a level in the iTunes parent folder (with no ..) and they work fine.

One of the reasons I raised this was every other media app (including mplayer_ce) plays those playlists with ..

When I get time I’ll zip up a playlist with folder structure and mp3 file for Tantric.

Cheers

I’m having the same problem, my external playlists just won’t load. My music is in an Itunes folder on a NAS box, and I’m connecting via SMB. I’ve tried m3u and pls, and within the playlist I’ve tried absolute and relative paths, forward slashes and backslashes, including the drive name and not including the drive name, and also tried placing the playlist closer to the music (i.e. in the immediate parent directory) and still “Error loading playlist!” These playlists work fine everywhere else (MediaPlayer CE on the Wii, xbmc on an xbox, and every program I’ve tried in Windows. It’s just WIIMC that has this problem.

Any ideas?
