I have a batch script (-> windows batch .bat automatic .m3u playlist creation / update ) to automatically generate playlists. These playlists are saved in a subfolder of the rootdir (see code). So the problem is, that the subfolder is not taken into account in the playlist, so the music files cannot be found. I get
#EXTINF:???,The Realm Of Orzamar
Dragon Age Origins\The Realm Of Orzamar.mp3
I need
#EXTINF:???,The Realm Of Orzamar
../Dragon Age Origins\The Realm Of Orzamar.mp3
And with something like
SET "location='.../' + %%c"
I get
#EXTINF:???,The Realm Of Orzamar
:\music\Dragon Age Origins\The Realm Of Orzamar.mp3
How can I put this .../
string into SET "location=%%c"
so it won't be converted to music\
. An absolut path is not quite a solution since the filestructure is placed on a portable drive and should work independant and out of the folder root, so for use on Android devices and on any other device with different absolut full paths.
I am unexperienced with batch, just did some very basic stuff so far, I don't really understand this script since I don't know batch syntax.
Thanks in advance.
