Unknown to me, our development team changed the way playlists are handled with the latest firmware.
Due to the way some streaming music apps handle playlists built into the app, they needed to change playlist properties on the player. Previously, you could create a playlist and save it in any folder. Starting with firmware 1.10, you can only save playlists in the playlist folder in internal memory.
Here is the official info from our development team:
Notice: Playlist file operation method change.
Affects AK users who use SP1000(M), SE100 and SR15 and Open App firmware.
There was change of Playlist file (*.m3u) operation method when using the new F/W which supports openAPK.
Before F/W update, Playlist files (*.m3u) can be recognized when saved in any folder.
After the v1.10 update, Playlist files can be only recognized when they are located in the “Playlist" folder in the root folder.
This change is because :
- when using the Open App service, some application creates playlist file(*.m3u) themselves.
- In this case, AK system recognize this *.m3u file created by an app as an AK original Playlist.
- Such Playlists cannot be played by the AK player and it can cause confusion with originally created playlists.
- To prevent this issue, we changed the operation method of playlist files so that only playlists in the “Playlist” folder can be recognized.
Thank you.
