loading m3u8 via sdk

as a relatively new C++ progammer

how do i add an m3u8/m3u file to an existing playlist

im using

Code: [Select]
static_api_ptr_t<playlist_manager> plm;
metadb_handle_ptr handle;
static_api_ptr_t<metadb>()->handle_create(handle, make_playable_location(fileName, 0));
metadb_handle_list list;
list.add_item(handle);
plm->activeplaylist_add_items(list, bit_array_true());


to a a filename
now when fileName = "blabla.mp3" that adds into playlist
but when fileName = "blabal.m3u8" foo doesnt know thats a playlist and should be parse

id think there would be something in playlist_manager thant can help me
im a little confused even how to open a playlist
via playlist_loader, the callbacks confuse me, and i find NO sample code on this

thanks all

mitch

I tried just to see...

Code: [Select]
static_api_ptr_t<playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2> plf;
static_api_ptr_t<playlist_manager> plm;
metadb_handle_list list;

plf->process_location(item.toString(), list, false, NULL, NULL, NULL);

plm->activeplaylist_add_items(list, bit_array_true());


and item = "e:\test.m3u8"

and it did NOT process the PL

it added test.m3u8 to pl (which is invalid)

i think location should be a path, not a playlist file...

as foosion said, you need to take a different approach, something like this:

Code: [Select]
class process_locations_notify_my : public process_locations_notify {
public:
    void on_completion(const pfc::list_base_const_t<metadb_handle_ptr> & p_items)
    {
        static_api_ptr_t<playlist_manager> plm;
        plm->activeplaylist_add_items(p_items, bit_array_true());
    };

    void on_aborted() { };
};

service_ptr_t<process_locations_notify_my> notify = new service_impl_t<process_locations_notify_my>();
list_t<const char *> files;    // files/dirs to be added
static_api_ptr_t<playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2>()->process_locations_async(
            files,
            playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2::op_flag_background,
            NULL,
            "",
            core_api::get_main_window(),
            notify);

Ah... i was just trying a non Async version as a test

and that doesnt work too... it adds for example "test.m3u8" as a item into the playlist...
not actually opening the file, and parsing it for the mp3's inside

im sure this is possible.. when i DROP a m3u8 file on to fb2k, it parses it

essentially the same code works for me: test-case m3u8 was parsed properly.

If all you want to do is add the processed items to a playlist, you could also use a convenience method from the playlist_manager. See playlist_manager::playlist_add_locations.

If you see the M3U8 file in the playlist, then foobar2000 might not be able to parse your file path. Can you show us what the file path looks like?

AH!

i figured it out

it didnt like the path with the " around "

ie

"e:\test.m3u8"

e:\test.m3u8

ill strip off "

now i wonder if my 1st try would have worked 

thanks!
