Playlist (m3u) empty - Scan-error - No matching file

If you can restore things to replicate the problem, try renaming the playlist file to .m3u8 instead of .m3u. The .m3u8 extension tells MinimServer to use Unicode encoding (UTF-8) when reading the playlist file.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the quick response. I had thought of that last night, so I'd put the hyphen back and got the faults again, but maybe I'd missed something. I just tried again with the hyphen and it's fine.

I also just tried the .m3u8 but that caused even more trouble! MinimServer objected to a whole load of files with accented characters and single quotes as apostrophes.

Thanks for a great program and the support!

Colin
