OK so I did some debugging to see the root exception. The SAXParseException
was for an invalid UTF-8 character in one of the song's metadata.
So it's not a problem with the application. There is a problem with some of
your music tags on the server you're trying to connect to. To fix it, either
make all the tags UTF-8 friendly, or move the offending ones out of the daap
share.
I used MusicBrainz Picard to organize my music library, and noticed a bunch of
mp3s with weird characters (one was �䄀攀猀漀瀀). I just moved those files out of
the view of my mt-daapd server, and did a full server rescan. The client was
able to parse all that metadata at last. Let me know if that doesn't work for
you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm unable to load my playlist in Firefly Client due to this error message:
Unable to load the list

Any ideas how to get rid of this message?
Same problem here

coffbr01, thanks for your reply. I'll give MusicBrainz Picard a try to find
the songs firefly chokes on.
