    Description

      I started a forum thread some time ago that hasn't gotten much response.

      http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/t...se-doesnt-match-actual-file-path-case.106277/
      I have a very large and old playlist that has been copied around and manually edited for years. Somehow the case on most of the paths to the songs has gotten messed up. When this happens, MP cannot read the ID3 tags.

      My music files are on a network share. I don't recall having this problem when they were stored locally. Yes I used the same playlist when the files were in both locations. I just did a find/replace to fix up the paths.

      h4. Steps to Reproduce
      Create a playlist that includes UNC paths such as //MACHINE-NAME/path/filename.mp3. Create this playlist any way you would like.

      Manually edit the playlist to alter the case of the paths to the file and/or the filename itself. Do this for only the first few files in the playlist so you can see that it has no problem reading the tags from the remaining files.

      Play this playlist in MP.
