User Manual “Streaming Client“ - V1.31 - 8. Jan. 2007
M3U playlist URL syntax
To play a M3U playlist enter the URL in the format
“protocol://user:password@host:port/path/playlist.ext”
e.g.:
• "http://user1:Px2Wu3@host.com:80/rock/today.m3u"
• "file://playlist.m3u"
The second example points to a playlist stored on the
USB memory device.
M3U playlists are accepted under the following rules:
• Relative Paths in the playlists are accepted.
• Absolute Paths in the playlists are accepted and root
directory of the server is treated as their root.
• Playlists must point to media files, not to other
playlists
• Comments (lines beginning with '#') are skipped.
• Empty lines are skipped.
• Playlists of up to 2000 entries are supported.
• Allowed line separators are the ASCII characters
“CR+LF” (hex 0D, 0A) and “LF” (hex 0A).
• The content of the Playlist will be shuffled if Shuffle is
enabled in the configuration or if the playlist is on a
local USB media and there is a file shuffle.txt in the
root directory of the USB media
• If Autoplay is enabled in the Web Interface and source
URL is pointing to a nonexistent playlist on a local USB
media, the Streaming Client will try to play the audio
files on the USB media using the Autoplay function.
A file named shuffle.txt is created on the media and
playlist named __exstr.m3u is played. If such a playlist
does not exist, the Streaming Client searches the USB
media for files with suffices mp3 and wma and creates
the playlist __exstr.m3u. The file system tree is
searched to the sixth depth level.
