Standard Playlist Importing / Exporting

Issue description:

I seem to be unable to import a playlist properly & playlists I’ve created I have no way to export.

Logs:

Upload description: MISTAAAJ

Additional information:

 
If I was able to export a standard playlist from Symfonium I could then reverse engineer my current playlists so they’d import properly but there seems to be no way to export a regular playlist as the option is not present like it is for smart playlists.

What am I doing wrong…ironically almost all of those attempts for a playlist worked for several other music applications so Symfonium is just BUILT DIFFERENT which is fine if I could just understand HOW it’s built differently.
 

Reproduction steps:

 
I’ve dabbled with placing playlist files in

Music/Playlists/Tet.m3u
Music/ Test.m3u

My tracks are all in
/storage/emulated/0/Music
(Music folder on internal storage)

The following paths in the playlists I’ve tested have failed to import & populate a playlist regardless of the location of the playlist file itself

/storage/ emulated/0/Music/Filename.ext

/Music/Filename.ext

…/Music/Filename.ext

…/Filename.ext

/Filename.ext

Filename.ext

 

Media provider:

Local device

There’s no MISTAAAJ logs uploaded and the other one with your name does not show any playlist import.

The import use relative path to the playlist itself or absolute path to the folder you added as a source due to Google SAF limitations.

Not sure how i can submit the logs again

But in my case ive added Music as the source

Library, Files, add source
I chose the music folder where all the music is stored

So my paths in the playlist should have worked with one of the options i tried right

And sources are to be defined at the provider level not file level.

Logs Again

Other than this is believe id need to start a new topic again.

No you don’t just take 2 seconds to read and search :slight_smile: A few duplicates too :wink:

There’s a button to upload the logs, you can manually use

https://upload.symfonium.app

And there’s no import in those logs too, what are you doing ?

Well the problem is
This didnt work for me theres no import button on my end.

Read up on This one

Then i tried the solution found Here

Then i came full circle with This one

But i havent gotten it working

Wait how…thats literally the only thing i did in that log let me try again i guess

To import a playlsit you navigate to the playlist then 3 dots import.

You should not have to add a new source in file mode as it should already be there unless you are not using SAF mode.

I can’t guess what you do so explain.

I must assume im not in SAF mode then.

The source was not present & had to be added. When i attempt to import a playlist in file mode there is no import option

I can either play, play next or add to favorites.

The only other way to import a playlist is from the playlist view there’s a large button at the top but when importing, the playlist appears but is empty

Is the ability to import standard playlists only available in SAF mode?

Yes because Google hide the real paths via Android Media Store.

It’s clearly all describe why you should always use that mode.

I believe I’ve got it working now but

  1. I removed my device as a media provider

  2. i re-added my local device as a media provider & chose the “android” option instead of the folder option

3)I manually added a new source & then in file view attepted to import a playlist (option was not available)

  1. using playlist view I imported my playlists, this time it worked

  2. I removed my device as a media provider again

  3. re-added my device as a media provider this time selecting the “folder” option

  4. i checked the source (it was already there this time)

  5. using file view I imported a playlist & it worked this time

Here’s where im confused…the configuration “folder” that i chose in step 6 is how I had my media provider configured in the first place.

The only thing that took place since the first time i configured the app would have been the app purchase / move from trial to paid version

I know i selected the folder option because when selecting the android option 𝐘𝐋𝐋 𝐆𝐑𝐘𝐌 becomes “??? ???” & I didn’t want that.

This is how it’s supposed to work, and as you see works.

I have no way to guess what you did before or your settings as you do not show them.

Unfortunately if its not in that last log file I’m not sure how to get it back to how it was before.

It seems I was using folder mode but the scanner mode was not SAF if thats even possible.

Ill try re adding the provider & seeing if I can re create whataver madness i was just apart of

No it was probably android mode with Symfonium scanner as the other way is not possible.

I agree.

Going Android option with android scanning gave me the ??? For special characters.

Android with Symfonium scanner shows the actual special characters.

I just checked my s9 (other device) that one is currently configured in SAF mode

So id bet when setting this one up I believed i had mirrored all my settings from there because the special characters were showing up properly & thats what i was using as an indicator.

Thanks again for the help with my dumb questions. Its 3am now im going to bed.
