That's probably because it saves the file in the wrong directory (say, in a temp directory) rather than directly in the location it would be. totem-pl-parser is pretty clever about that, and will use relative paths if you're saving the file in a parent of the location of the files. > and my player seems to require relative paths, even > though the playlist files are located at the root of the device.
