#521 Auto Playlist Error in Windows Media Player (WMP)

[Keith Paap]

Group: v2.2
OS: Windows XP/Pro SP2

Juice is not updating the playlist in WMP. When new
feeds are received the log is issuing the following
message:

Updating playlist The Java Posse with JavaPosse047.mp3
Couldn't tell Windows Media Player to update its playlist.

Same problem reported in support forum:

(On a side not you may want to add v2.2 to the 'Group:' drop
down.)

I lowered the priority. In the juice forums another user
pointed me to a workaround using WMP auto playlists.
Information on the workaround can be found at
http://www.wmplugins.com/EditorsCorner/Editors.aspx (See
'automating the process') The article is based on Doppler
but the WMP playlist automation works for Juice as well.
It's still a bug in Juice but a reasonable workaround means
this may be less of a priority than some of the other issues
documented.
