Minimserver is running on a Synology Diskstation DS212j NAS and really working fine.

I have created my .m3u files as an example with the following command directly on the Diskstation:

sqlite3 songs3.db 'select path from songs where album like "Rock Christmas Vol%" order by album,disc,track' > Christmas-Rock.m3u8

The songs3.db ist the database from the no longer existing Firefly-Mediaserver, which i only have used to read the ID3tags from the music files and save the information in this songs3.db. After that i created the .m3u-file(s) with the command above, i have more of them in one script.

I think Minimserver stores the information also in a database, so i think it must be possible to access that with something like the executable sqlite3 command above, so it would be fine if someone could explain what kind of database minimserver is using and if there is a way to do something like the thing above ... or the minimserver itself could do something like that.

MinimServer doesn't use a database. If you are using MinimServer, you would need to browse the MinimServer library using a UPnP control point to select the songs you want and then play them.
