Playlists aren't imported when I import my iTunes XML file

Post by admin »

We get quite a few emails where users aren't able to import their iTunes playlists even though they have apparently correctly indexed their iTunes XML library file.

The reason for this can often be where you are running My Media on a pi or other system and have mounted a directory back to the computer where you normally run iTunes.

In this case, you can search and find your iTunes Library.xml file, however, the references within that file are local to the computer where you are running iTunes. Those references may not be valid on the computer running My Media so it isn't able to find the track or add it to the playlist.

We're looking at a fix for this where we'll change the way we match up tracks to playlists, and will update this thread then.
