Transfer of playlists from Origin Windows to Origin Linux

I try to import my playlists and favorites in Origin Linux, from Origin Windows. The backup and restore function in the library section doesn’t execute this properly. I get all the playlists after restoring but they are empty. One reason seems to be that the Audirvana app does not show the directory structure of my Linux system. It seems to be linked with some accessability issue. All albums are present though and should be because the music files are on separate drives from the operating system(s). So the question boils down to: where do I put my restore file in Linux/ubuntu to be able to access it in the audirvana app?

Apparently Linux presents the problem… The Knowledge base does not show this process supported in Linux…

I imported a playlist .m3u from a MacOS machine to a Linux machine. But… it mangled the tracks titles/names, substituting the link url. And I think that bug also happens if the transfer is to the same MacOS.

The main point when you do this is to look for the path of your tracks you have in it.

Does the track path match between Windows and Linux?

thank you Goldnear for this link. I’m gonna study this further. Luc

Hi Antoine, yes I believe so, i checked a few, and also the audirvana_bck file mentions ‘relative path’ so I thought it should be fine. But i’ll check that more in detail. Should I go for individual .m3u files than instead of the ‘backup’-'restore- process? Thank you for replying. Luc

It’s best to try the individual first, just to check if everything is good

Hi Antonio, so you haven’t found a work around than? I put too much work in these playlists to just give up. Hope I find a solution that might be helpfull for you as well. Thank for reacting. Luc

Ok Antoine, I’ll check that. Thank you

The path (link) is fine, but that path overwrites the track name…

Antoine and others, Issue is solved. Instead of the ‘backup-restore’ buttons, I used the individual export as you suggested. I used the following instruction in Ubuntu: sed ‘s#F:\\#\/mnt\/name of myfirstdisk\/#g; s#G:\\#\/mnt\/name of my second disk\/#g; s#\\#/#g’ “/home/luc/Audirvana backup/playlist name.m3u” > “/home/luc/Audirvana backup/playlist name-Linux.m3u”

Thanks to all for responding
