Re-Instating 'Playlists' option to the home page

If you create a standard (.m3u) playlist anywhere within your music folder (the folder referenced by the MinimServer contentDir property), MinimServer will index it, and the 'Playlists' entry will them appear in the top level browse list.

I generally prefer to put my playlist files in a separate folder at the top level of the music folder. This is for ease of reference when editing the lists, and is not necessary; the playlist can be anywhere in the music folder or one of its sub-folders.

Thank you for your reply David. I have created a test .m3u playlist inside a "playlist" folder within the first level of my music folder, but for some reason the Playlist option doesn't appear in the home screen of Minimserver. I seem to remember removing some of the options shown on the home screen a while back, as there were several there I didn't need at the time. I'm thinking that is why I don't get the playlist option showing now, but afraid I can't remember what I did! I'm wondering if I've removed 'playlists' or similar from the contentDir?

Unfortunately, I am now away on business for 3 days, so I will have another look and see if it has appeared when I return. I created a playlist and the folder yesterday and it hadn't appeared by the evening after rescans and restarting all software/systems.

I'll have another try!

Thanks again,

Jason.
