![]() So from a user perspective, where the production of playlists needs to be useful and compatible (as opposed to being dogmatic) the VLC3-way of encoding local file paths is in many cases improductive and breaks workflows. The way M3U-playlists are used is a de facto standard that VLC3 partly breaks. ![]() The ’U’ in the M3U-suffix is of no importance either. %-encoding for local files breaks the functionality for many users and calling other systems ”crappy thirdparty software” doesn’t change this fact. In the original Fraunhofer version of these playlists, %-encoding was not used for local files. However the de facto standard for M3U playlists used by a vast number of systems and software is often not %-encoded and some of these systems have been around since the nineties. %-encoding is mandatory for URL:s So from that perspective the new VLC3-way of encoding is correct. I will leave this discussion now because it’s going in circles.
