Ron,
I think I got the playlist issue worked out.
As has been stated many places on this board, the listings need to be relative to the server and file locations. The spaces need to be removed between lines. The last is that for this FF version “” works and “/” does not.
Anyway the playlists work under the above parameters.
The issue [this may not be correctible] now is that very large playlists [10,000 entries] do not load/list. I can however report that the sqlite3 db does load the entire song-list to the soundbridge when asked to browse [YEA!]. I can rationalize this as the song db is ~20MB [45,000 entries], the soundbridge is reported to have ~32MB memory, this leaves 12MB to operate [more than 35% of the total] and that seems possible [obviously no knowledge of soundbridge OS requirements used for this estimate].
If you have any ideas on the large playlist issue, I will try anything if it helps out for any improvements, just let me know what to change.
thanks again for the FF and all the assistance above!!!
