What is m3u file format

broken image

RMP does not seem to recognize the %20 as a space and your file will not be found. (VLC may add %20 to spaces in names of titles so you will want to remove those before playing in Roku Media Player (RMP). If you use a media player like VLC to build the playlist.m3u file the EXTINFO will be created automatically for you (timetrack and title).Īlso, if using media players to build the m3u files, make sure to use the exact name of your mp4 file. The line below that is the path and actual name of your file. Normally the track length time is placed before the comma if you want that displayed in info. (Note the comma (,) before the Title you want displayed. In the above format, the 'This is Movie1' will be displayed as the title in your playlist for movie1.mp4. Your playlist.m3u would be configured as follows. In foo2, you have movie3.mp4 and movie4.mp4. In foo1 you have movie1.mp4 and movie2.mp4. is a good example to configure the playlist m3u file.Īs another example regarding directories, see if this makes sense.Īssume you have USB drive with playlist.m3u file and two folders (foo1 and foo2). The example provided by the link you posted.
