When I have the audio-playlist module enabled it causes problems with uploading new audio files and editing existing files. In both cases I can get to the page to upload a new file/or to edit an existing one. But after pressing the submit button I get a blank screen and the file upload/edit doesn't take effect. Note that a new node is created for the uploaded file, but the file itself isn't uploaded and none of its tags are read into the database. If I dis-enable the audio-playlist module I have no problems.
Otherwise the audio-playlist function works correctly. I can create and manage the playlists with no problems. And if it is turned off the audio module functions work fine too. At the moment I have only enabled the audio and audio_getid3 modules -- I initially enabled all of them, but thought I could better figure out what was going on if I left the others off for now.
I have the latest versions of Drupal and the modules, just downloading them two days ago.

#1
did you set-up the getid3 correctly? try reading the readme file.
#2
Thank you for the getid3 suggestion. When I turn off the audio_getid3 module, while leaving audio, playlist and audio_playlist all active everything works correctly. But if I turn ON audio_getid3, turn OFF audio_playlist, while leaving everything else the same it also all works correctly. The problem comes when I have both audio_getid3 and audio_playlist turned on at the same time.
I've installed the latest version of getid3, 1.7.7 installed in modules/audio/getid3/getid3, as per the audio module install instructions. And it works without any glitches directly with the audio module. I'll poke around a little more and see if I can find something, but any other suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Randy

Hello again,
Here is a clarification on my original post on what happens when this bug appears:
1. I've enabled both the audio_playlist and audio_getid3 modules after testing both independently and confirming that they work.
2. I've reset the permissions for my user type to include permissions needed for these modules
3. I run the regular create new audio content screen and upload a file
4. Drupal returns a blank screen
5. Returning to the main page, a node has been created for the audio, and the file itself has been uploaded. But the node fields themselves are blank and none of the id3 tags have been written to the database
6. If I then go to EDIT an existing audio node I get similar behavior when I press the SUBMIT button, with a blank screen and my manually written edits not being recorded in the database.
Thanks again,
Randy

Thanks for reporting, will look into this. If anybody can duplicate this problem, please post.

it happens to me as well.
i just moved drupal to a new server (using php 4.1 while the old one was running 4.0).
- audio and audio playlist seem to play files correctly.
- i can see existing playlists and create new ones.
- i cannot create new audio files, publishing new audio node resulting in blank page with neither uploaded file nor created node.
- playlist flash block & pop up window load ok but keep "loading playlists" forever without showing any.
- occasionally i receive a blank page at admin/modules too (will double check .htacess file)
it sounds like a messy situation, isnt it? i reinstalled audio and playlist modules (latest versions), but nothing changes.

Hm, that does sound messy. Vthirteen, are there specific erorr messages you are seeing?
#7
In my case I think it was a conflict with the regular Drupal Search module and the search function available in playlist. At least if I inactivate the Drupal search module all is OK, and the playlist search function works correctly. I also don't get the blank screen when uploading new files.
