Unable to open .m3u file via JSON-RPC after update to eden
#1
I've been using some pre-Eden XMBC nightlies on ATV2s for a while. I use it to continuously show few clips and then switch set of clips remotely via JSON-RPC API. I wasn't able to make one clip being played continuously. So I created .M3U playlists and the used API's Player.Open on them It worked fine until I updated XBMC to latest version.

Now If I send a Player.Open request with .m3u file url to XMBC I see just black screen (looks like Malevich's paintingBig Grin)

According to attached XBMC.log it tries to open a .m3u file as skin. Confused Am I missing something here or should I file some kind of bug report on this problem?

Code:

I tried same request on my Windows PC and found that this behavior is not iOS specific. I think thread has to be moved to "Supplementary Tools for XBMC" forum
