DLNA and video playlists

[flickeringsight]

I've searched around but haven't found much information on this, but... does the DLNA application serve playlists for use with movie files? I've tried putting m3u files in the movies directory but they do not show up on my WDTV Live. My workaround is to navigate to them using network file sharing rather than via media servers, then the WDTV will open and list the contents correctly.

I do not see details anywhere, HOWEVER, looking in the code, I see a function called is_playlist

Code: Select all

ends_with(file, ".m3u") || ends_with(file, ".pls")

so, it looks like it will try to recognize playlists ending in .m3u and .pls somewhere.

Not sure where will they show up.

Can you try it out and see if it works?
(it would be good to put your findings in the section I added in the DLNA wiki page)
