I wnat to add a path on my networked PC which is \\STUDY\Users\robert\Music when viewed in Windows Explorer
If I copy this verbatim into contentDir for MinimServer properties I get the error 'Not an absolute path; correct highlighted value and retry'
Can I actually add a network path as described above?
If so then what is the correct nomencalture for the path?
I know I could run MinimServer on my PC but if the above can be achieved then it's just a single UPNP point for all my music

This is a Windows path. Your NAS is running Linux, so this path is not valid.

If you want to do this, I think you would need to mount the Windows shared folder on the Synology as described on this page. Adding a remote shared folder to the MinimServer contentDir settings will cause very slow scanning performance for the remote files and is therefore not recommended.
