Playlists not found

[richatl]

I'm trying out GMMP for the first time, having used MediaMonkey and PowerAmp on a Samsung Galaxy S20.  Music is stored on an SD Card, as are over 100 meticulously created playlists synced to the SD card using MM.  Playlists are all in an .m3u format.  They work just fine in other media player apps so I know the paths are correct.  I had GMMP scan the music folder on the card and it found all the music files with no problem.  When I ask it to scan the file containing the playlists it says the folder is empty--clearly not true.  I included it in the scan anyway, but the playlists aren't recognized.  I like the UI and features of GMMP, but any player who can't handle these playlists is a non-starter.   Is there something else I need to do in order to get GMMP to recognize the playlists?  Thanks.

can you access the playlists via the folder view?

all the folders added to the scanner are scanned for playlists as well as music, so this help page should give you some things to try: gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/scanner-not-finding-all-music.html

I turned off "Ignore Folders with .nomedia" and that appears to have solved the problem. Thank you!!
