The mp3 playlist I’ve created with VLC is behaving erratically. The files were downloaded from YT to a Win7 PC and play perfectly as individual items, but when added to the playlist some play and others are skipped—sometimes, but not always. When it happens I get this type of error message:
Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘file:///F:/Waltz_A%20Love%20Idea.mp3’. Check the log for details.
Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘file:///F:/Foxtrot_Can’t%20Take%20My%20Eyes%20Off%20You.mp3’. Check the log for details.
I have no idea where the log is, so that’s not helpful.
All I want is to have the playlist on a USB drive. The same m3u file will sometimes play properly from one USB, but not when copied to a different USB. It’s the same with the same m3u file on the hard drive: sometimes OK, sometimes not. Windows Media Player does much the same, but sometimes refuses to play the list at all.
I’m just a button-pusher so I don’t understand any of the technicalities behind this stuff and would be grateful for any help.
