Relative paths are supported but not in an higher level than the folder you added to the file provider.

A bit of context is needed:

The MASS container mounts your music on /media. Naturally, any playlist that tries to traverse above that folder (using relative paths) will look invalid from the perspective of MASS, even if it works directly on the machine serving or containing the files.

All music Files are located here (no Folders for Arist or whatever):
/volume1/media01/musicLibrary/musicLibrary/

All Playlists are located here:
/volume1/media01/musicLibrary/musicLibrary/_PLAYLISTS

thats my mounting:
/volume1/media01/musicLibrary/musicLibrary:/media

Sample1 is working: located in /media/_PLAYLISTS/Happy Favorits 2.m3u
../FILE003372.mp3
../FILE004255.mp3

Sample2 is working (wired because the path is not correct): located in /media/_PLAYLISTS/Happy Favorits 3.m3u
FILE003372.mp3
FILE004255.mp3

Sample3 is NOT working: located in /media/_PLAYLISTS/Allgemein/Happy Favorits.m3u
../../FILE000996.mp3
../../FILE004803.mp3

Based on the above it seems the title of this report is incorrect. For paths that only go up one level it seems to work but when going up two levels it does not. Is that the case?

[Rudd-O]

Sample3 is NOT working: located in /media/_PLAYLISTS/Allgemein/Happy Favorits.m3u
../../FILE000996.mp3
../../FILE004803.mp3

Yes, that's not gonna work because it's trying to go above /media.

@Rudd-O i think it goes to media doesn’t it?
