Hello sorry for this general complaint, but I use often playlist m3u files for party events with music video links. It was a very good way until some month ago.
The playlist contains http links, local links and links on NFS devices. Usually I opened the file, “Play from here” and all was good. If a link was not found the next was played without any issues. Now it changed.
First when I try to open the file it takes minutes. All links seems to be checked for availability and if not found, the message queue gets an error entry, which can take a lot of time if the file has 3 digits entries like mine.
When I start a list with some missing links with “play from here” and it is a youtube link only audio is played for some seconds, then a pause of 10 seconds and then audio and video is shown. In the 10 second pause the message queue is flooded with error messages from missing links. Very annoying.
Next, missing links are not jumped over now, it just stops.
The playlist is not as useful as before. I know this is Kodi related and not OSMC.
Thanks for reading!
