Mike,

Looks like this code, in mp3_playlist requres you to run 'build the mp3
database' first:

--
                                # Build the mp3 database
$v_mp3_build_list = new Voice_Cmd '[Build,Load] the {mp3,m p 3} database',
'';
$v_mp3_build_list-> set_info("Builds/loads an mp3 database for these
directories: $config_parms{mp3_dir}");

$p_mp3_build_list = new Process_Item;

                                # Allow for loading playlists

# noloop=start      This directive allows this code to be run on
startup/reload
my $mp3_file = "$config_parms{data_dir}/mp3.dbm";
my ($mp3names, %mp3files) = &mp3_playlists;
# noloop=stop

---

Have you tried that yet?  When you do, this code:

        next unless $file =~ /([^\\\/]+)((\.m3u)|(\.pls))$/i;

will look for playslist.  If it doens't find any, you could try adding debug
prints in there somewhere.

Hi Bruce,
  Could you please help me out.  I put the following question out on the
list, but didn't get an answer. I also searched the archives but couldn't
find anything there to help either.
I'm trying to get WinAmp to work with MH. When I click on the MP3 Jukebox
button in MH it says "No Playlists found".
This is what I've done so far.
1. Put the following lines in my mh.private.ini:
mp3_program=C:/Progra~1/winamp/winamp.exe
mp3_program_control=wactrl
mp3_dir=C:/misterhouse/sounds
mp3_extention=mp3
mp3_program_password=pass
2. I put the mp3_control.pl and mp3_playlist.pl in my MH code directory.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?  Do I have to edit the
mp3_control.pl or mp3_playlist.pl files?  My operating system is Win98 if
that matters.
   I really am having fun with your MisterHouse program.  At first I thought
it was too complicated for me, but with your latest version I was able to
get it up and running.  The only problem is that it is addictive.  I keep
wanting to try out more of its capabilities.  Thanks for any help.
