What version of firefly are you using?

As far as I know that playlist file has been deprecated a while ago.
Firefly now is able to process iTunes.xml as well as m3u, pls, and other more common playlist formats directly.

I’m a little confused as to how this works. I tried copying a file called “iTunes Music Library.xml” from my mac to the music folder on the server running mt-daapd. However, the playlists that were created within iTunes on the mac, presumably contained in that file, do not show up when I connect to the server within iTunes (all of the music is there, however).

Is this the iTunes.xml file to which you are referring? What am I missing?

Thanks-

Yes, it should work. You’ll need to rescan of course, and make sure that you have process playlists as well as process itunes turned on in the advanced portion of the web config.

That should really do it. Also, the file needs to be directly above the music in the path. If it’s a copy of a live iTunes database, the best place to put it is in the folder that has all the artists, if that makes sense.
