It sounds like the LMS server treats backslashes as path separators on Linux. See this post for a proposal for how this could be added to MinimServer without removing the capability to use a backslash as part of a filename.

I will look into implementing this proposed change in a future update to MinimServer. At present, I can't give a time estimate for when this will be available.

Thanks for the info. I agree that the solution proposed looks like a good one. I hope indeed that it doesn't go to "the bottom of the pile", Maybe it deserves better than that. As it stands now, users with a large number of "Windows" playlists will have to maintain Two versions of the same playlist, and sorting them out and playing them will be a pain! So I hope this problem be fixed in the short term.

Also, for Media Monkey users, there is a great add-on utility that has a LOT of capabilities regarding the composition, Export, and Import of playlists. The developer of the code is also very helpful when support is needed for any reason.
Here is a link:

Again I hope that proposed tweak to MinimServer happens soon, as I think a significant number of people might find it to be a much more viable app to use, particularly people who come from the Squeezebox world and have many \ playlists.
