Love the addon, but getting into difficulties trying syncing with XBMC. XBMC needs 'special://profile/playlists' as a path instead of 'D:'. I can't use the replace function for that.

Any suggestions?

However in version MM v4 I see some (for me) new sync options,such as:

Two options unavailable in MM 3.x; reason why I moved to to script.....

In my case (relative paths and extended paths) could be enough to stop using the script.... I should try a sync and see what happens



Yes, I can confirm that the settings in MM 4 now allow for proper playlist sync to the device, with relative path and extended M3U format! Great! One step less when synchronizing!

MediaMonkey still has the same basic export, although I believe it depends on context or method if absolute or relative paths are used (try Tools > Scripts > Export all Playlist and File > Export to Playlist).

I mean I was using the addon because MM was missing those two options (build relative paths and extended M3U)

Then you probably were using an old version of the Addon.

This script works independent of MediaMonkey's script exports and contains many settings including relative Paths to define how it should export your Playlists.

I have been using this script MM version 3.x, because at that time MM couldn't sync playlists arranging relative paths. As for MM version 4.x is this still true?

Mostly not, except some rarely used things like Lookbehind. Here you could see the differences in VBScript’s RegEx engine:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/vbscript.html

There are some on-line RegEx testers where you could specify which engine you want to use, for example:

Regexp rules will be different?

Thanks!

BTW: What engine is using the script? Perl-like? Or?

I can't build a regular expression properly to export m3u:

I need to replace the following paths:

Code: Select all
e:\music\library\portable\default
e:\music\library\portable\new

to

Code: Select all
\music


What regexp should I use?
