Errors with importing m3u playlists

Issue description

I am trying to import my playlists from another app, however symfonium seems to be having issues with them. When I try importing it within the app, it simply creates a blank playlist. When I try selecting the file in the file explorer, then telling it to open it with symfonium, I have gotten various messages about unsupported media types and so on.
Here is what the m3u I did some testing with contains:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:105979,sunnydaze - 01 Rust and Moss
/storage/3738-3933/Music/Rusted Moss OST (mp3)_20250304_Update/01 Rust and Moss.mp3

Device type

Media provider

Steps to reproduce

Your logs show that the playlists contain entries, but none match songs in Symfonium’s library.

Can you confirm whether “Rust and Moss” appears and plays from Symfonium’s Songs list, and which Scanner mode is shown in your Local device provider settings? There is an ID-matching issue with the “Symfonium (Media Store)” mode that could explain this.

Opening the M3U from your file manager triggers playback of the playlist file itself, which explains the separate media error.

The local scanner was set to android mode initially, which displayed the song but did not work for the playlist. I switched to the folder specific scanner instead and then it was able to load the playlists without issue.
