Hi,
You are right Linux path option is not available in MM5 playlist export settings.

Added as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19773

Did a little more testing and it looks like the back slash in the path is the problem. EMBY doesn't seem to recognize it in a file path. I think Windows will accept either forward slash or back slash in a file path.

I'm trying to export playlists in M3U format to use in EMBY on Android TV. MMW v4 using the Export/Create Playlists for Child Node extension works well. It is exporting the playlist using Linux file conventions - forward slash for path and LF for end of line.

MMW v5 seems to have the export built in, but is exporting the M3U playlist to Windows conventions - back slash for path and CR/LF for end of line. EMBY doesn't seem to recognize this format.

What about an option to do it either way?

Hi,
You need to save playlist on N:\ if you want relative paths. Or based on your example N:\Playlists to have ..\

i have media monkey v 5.0.2.2532

relative path is not working when music is on a mapped network drive on my NAS it is mapped as drive N:\

N:\Sample Flac MCH DSD\Hof Living [24-192] Stereo Flac.flac
N:\Sample Flac MCH DSD\Britten- Simple Symphony 1 [24-192] Stereo Flac.flac

the relative path is working this is correct when the music is on drive d: of the computer

..\Music\Classical Mp3\The 50 Greatest Pieces Of Classical Music[16-44]Flac\01-Grieg; Peer Gynt (Morning Mood).mp3

Oh fine! Didn't see that option.

You can just disable the '[x] Use extended M3U' checkbox in Options > Library > Tags & Playlist

Oh, that is a good question. I didn't expect that it is working since I'm used to the other version.

But yes: The playlist ist integrated in the other Linux program and works!

What are you using that it can't read an extended M3U?

Today I installed MMW build 5.0.2.2503 where it is said the issue is solved.
However, it is not.
Now both the export of the whole list of playlists and the export of single playlists as m3u-files generate content like this: It should be like this: without any `#EXTM3U` or `#EXTINF:285,...` before the relative path.
The second example is of an exported file executed with 2502 build. That file is now overwritten. (Only overwritten in test-folder )
Needs to be solved.

He meant probably this bug https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18232

Thank you Lowlander!
I asked bc there was another sentence before. Not "Reopened the bug." Don't mind.
I'm happy with it now.

That a developer will evaluate this and perhaps add relative Paths to Export all playlists.
