Why don't you create a play list from within smplayer and examine what format it
creates.
I did, and it is horribly verbose. To wit:
#EXTM3U
# Playlist created by SMPlayer 14.3.0
#EXTINF:414.56,03_Nechein Man.webm
03_Nechein Man.webm
#EXTINF:200.04,07. Faun - Wenn wir uns wiedersehen-NPaDt85Sf_0.mp4
07. Faun - Wenn wir uns wiedersehen-NPaDt85Sf_0.mp4
#EXTINF:300.05,10. Faun - Andro II-nrTt0daF1Ak.mp4
10. Faun - Andro II-nrTt0daF1Ak.mp4
I find it ridiculous that smplayer should refuse to play playlists that
mplayer has no problems playing.
