Hello,
I’ve been following the thread having suffered similar problems. I have SVN-1586 installed on a WHS box.
My soundbridge does not see any playlists in the music directory. There are two playlists, one with relative and one with absolute paths, just to be sure, as noted that was one of the solutions.
I’ve also been inside the advanced conf file and made sure that process_m3u = 1, but there is no option of processs_plylist = 1 or anything similar. Do i need to add this?
I used to run the soundbridge from windows media connect from my WHS box, but that no longer seems to work, and firefly seemed a good alternative.
Any help would be much appreciated, but be warned, i’m not really competent when it comes to Linux/Unix and running scripts etc.
Thanks
[edit]
Realised i needed to use the web interface rather than digging around the conf file manually. As such, i have now managed to get the soundbridge to see both the playlists i put in, but when selected, neither display any songs.
Going to check back that they are formatted correctly, with respect the relative path etc, but any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

I seem to be rapidly filling this post, but i might as well leave my musings here as they may be able to help someone else, although i’m not quite sure how.
Anyhoo, checked the M3U files, and it seems they were not exactly as they should be. Files in the parent directory were listed correctly with relative path, but songs inside other folders, eg artist name -> album etc only had the folder name in the playlist, which possibly stopped the soundbridge from displaying any songs in the playlist.
I’m using a program called M3uedit, but if anyone has a suggestion of a better program i’d love to hear it.
Will let you know if i manage to fix the blasted playlist or whether i will be doomed to only listen to music in my parent directory.
