Import of Changed M3U doesn´t Change the Playlist of MM

Post by Ta Lun »

I Generate some of my M3U in a other Program as MM so I Need to Import them for Sync and to play.

If I Update over the AutoWatch of Folders or Over the Menu (Files=>Get net Files or Update*) It looks Like MM Update the Playlists of MM but there are No Changes.

Example:
test.m3u have on initial Import 200 Songs I have a MM Test Playlist under Importet Playlist Menu
Next Time the test.m3u have 150 Songs and it Looks Like MM Import it but the MM Playlist test have 200 Songs.

I have Look in the Settings but havent found somethink that help.
Maybe I´m Blind but Maybe its a Bug. ;-)

I Use the latest MM Version 4.1.5.1719 on a Win 7 with latest Updates
My Playlist to Import are saved on a NetworkShare but I think this is not the Problem because it can Import new m3u or after delete the MM Playlist.

I hope you can help.
If I can send you any more Information please tell it to me.

Thanks

It is not a bug, you need to change name of imported playlist to be reimported. MMW will not update internal playlists on external playlist changes at it can't determine if it is new or already imported playlist. We this years ago due the number of issues including loosing whole number of playlists.
