Newbie problems w/ Playlists
Answered
I am delighted to be able to connect my pre-digital audio system the the music on my NAS smoothly and easily; Node 2i rocks!
I've edited my playlists to have relative instead of absolute paths, but had quite a bit of trouble coaxing the Bluos Controller (BC) to recognize them. If I simply stripped out the absolute path data (for example "\\MyNAS\Multimedia\Tunes\") from the M3U files and reindexed, BC didn't recognize the change and failed to populate the playlist. However if I stripped out the absolute path data AND renamed the playlist, the newly named list appeared in "MyPlayklists" and worked properly. HOWEVER, if I click on the 3 dots beside the old, absolute location entries, I only get the "Favorite" option, no option to delete the old playlist.
I'd prefer not to have to rename. I don't think I would have to if I could delete the playlist before editing and re-adding.
Am I going about deleting playlists wrong?
Thank you,
Drew

And how would I rename a BluOS playlist?
Save as new name, delete the old one.

Hi Drew,
Since m3u-playlists are "external", deleting is also done outside of the controller.
After changes, etc. of m3u-playlists, you have to do a full rebuild of your library.

Yes, that does it. Rebuilding the index takes a while. It's a pity that the "delete playlist" function isn't actually part of the 3-dot selector in "My Playlists" as described here: support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360036112673-Creating-and-Managing-Playlists

BluOS can't delete .m3u playlists, can only delete BluOS playlists. Its read-only for external data, essentially
