I am using a Synology NAS and iMac to run MinimServer and I want to be able to create some playlists. I can create an m3u playlist on my mac by dragging and dropping tracks from my music folders on the NAS into VLC which makes the playlist.

Unfortunately, VLC makes the track path /Volumes/music.... rather than /volume1/music.. I can change this in TextEdit and it works fine with MinimServer but it isn't efficient to do this manually for long playlists.

I haven't found another playlist creator that works on a mac so I wonder if there is a way to get VLC to recognise the correct path or to do batch editing in MinimServer.

I suggest you try oddgravity Playlist Creator. This can create relative playlists, which is what you need.

Edit: This appears to be for Windows only, unfortunately.

Hi Simon, took the oportunity and downloaded and installed oddgravity Playlist Creator to make it easier for me as well to create playlists instead of going the longer way with synology audio player, but after i created a playlist with "playlist creator" and moved that playlist into synology folder (there i have all my other playlists created with synology audio player) i can not see the contents of that playlist.Not in synology nor with minimserver library when i browse on bubbleupnp. How does this program works? I can see that playlist i created but when i tab to play it then it shows empty, no contents. Can you shed some light of how to make minimserver to see the contents?
Thanks.
Regards Meffy!

PS. I save the playlist as m3u. Even renamed it to m3u8!
