Error when creating a Playlist
« on: December 05, 2020, 11:54:53 AM »
I am getting an error message from FPP when creating a playlist.

I start by confirming that the sequence is working properly on xLights (v2020.51). I then render and save the sequence. I then upload the .fseq and music files to FPP File Manager (v4.3).

When I create a playlist with them I get the error message: "Unable to get metadata from <filename>".  The sequence is listed as a Playlist Entry but with a runtime Length of 00:00.

These are the same files that worked last year and are the only sequence from last year's playlist to have this problem.

I have checked the metadata in xLights and it seems to be there. I have played the music file directly in FPP and it works. I have confirmed that the xLights metadata is pointing to the correct music file. And I've done each of these several times.

Any ideas what I am missing?
