[Gnump3d-users] Random play button does not create m3u files (Debian Lenny/Testing)

[James Zuelow]

Debian Lenny has recently removed xmms from it's repositories.  xmms 
understood m3u files that did not have an ".m3u" extension and would play 
them fine.  The xmms replacements available such as audacity do not, which 
annoyed me.

While googling for a solution I ran across this message to the gnump3d-users 
list:

I did not see a reply to Fred's message, so here goes.

Fred take a peek in /usr/share/perl5/gnump3d/plugins/

there you will find a file named random.pm

edit that file and change the line that says:

------------------------------
my $form = "<table><tr><td><form action=\"/random/play\" method=\"get\">\n";
------------------------------

to:

------------------------------
my $form = "<table><tr><td><form action=\"/random/play.m3u\" 
method=\"get\">\n";
------------------------------

What that does is change the behavior of the "Play" button on the random page 
to add the extension.

Hope this helps!
