M3U Launcher

Introduction

This service allows you to launch the Media Station X application directly with an M3U playlist. Optionally, a headline and/or background can be set. The launcher parameters will be set as URL start parameter as base64-encoded JSON.

  • This service uses an M3U to JSON conversion service, for more information, please have a look at the wiki page M3U/PLS Files.
  • You can also register the launched URL with a URL shortener service to set it up via the application start parameter input. For more information, please have a look at the wiki page Setup Start Parameter → URL Shortener Services.
  • For this service, Media Station X 0.1.145 or higher is needed.

Note: Please note that no URLs or playlist files are stored persistently on MSX servers. There is only a session-based storage for performance reasons.
