Playlists on StreamMagic renderer - Heathwood - 31-10-2016 12:29
Good morning,
I installed MinimServer on my mac book last week.
Great software, I will make a donation this week.
Things are mostly OK streaming wirelessly direct over my network.
Only query I have is down to management of playlists. I use the CA Connect app as a control point and sometimes tracks are displayed correctly, but mostly not.
One thing I noticed is from the MinimServer log:
rror: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
Error: playlist iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.m3u: unknown file (null)
MinimServer[Johns-MacBook-Air.local] is running
Is this to be expected?
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
John

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!
This looks like a formatting error in your Music.m3u file. Please copy and paste the contents of this file here.

Many thanks for the swift reply, Simon.
These are the contents of the file:

(null)

I have no idea of the significance of Eric Daugherty.

I am not sure what remaining contents were removed. All the (null) lines are incorrect and should be deleted. If there are no other useful contents, you could delete the file.

Hello again Simon,
No there are no further contents after the list of null.
I shall go ahead and delete the file.
I wonder i this is caused by my switching UpnP servers (previously I used Asset)?
Regards
John

This file would also not be valid in Asset but perhaps Asset doesn't report the errors.

I have no idea where this file came from, but deleting it seems to have done the trick.
Many thanks again.
