According to the above Wiki, if you add a playlist with the name folder.m3u to a folder with pictures, and you start a slideshow of those pictures in MP, the music should start playing. This doesn't happen. Nothing at all in the logs about music playback start.

h4. Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a playlist with the name folder.m3u and put that in 1 of your pictures folders.
2. Start MP and start a slide-show off the pictures in the folder where you just placed the playlist file in.
3. Slideshow starts and music should start playing (which it doesn't).
