Most text editors can create a plain text file with any extension. For example, you can do this with Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac or nano on Linux.

Thanks again Simon, I will do that then.

Hello Simon,

I've tried this out and just made a recording now as a test. I note the following:

the log files says the following:
MinimServer [Synology] is running
MinimStreamer: scheduled recording task r3+1355-1400
MinimStreamer: started recording task r3+1355-1400
Streamer: stopped recording task r3+1355-1400
MinimStreamer: removed recording task r3+1355-1400

This last entry indicating removal of the recording task occurred without me doing anything. Now I can't find the recording, if there is still one (or ever was). I've read this from your guide:
'Recording files are saved in the rec subdirectory of the MinimServer log directory. You can change the location of this directory using the .logFile property on the System tab. Recording files are named with a combination of the stream identifier and the start date and time of the recording.'

Not sure what this means .......

I tried saving the log file as displayed to my Mac desktop, but nothing happened. Surely the recording isn't the log file?

Not sure where the recording is or how I can play it?

Can you advise please?

Also when I tapped on either of the 2 playlists that have appeared on the iPad before I made the recording for the Radio 3 (under playlists), although both of them are there as you suggest, neither of them cause it to start playing ...... (if they were supposed to).

Regards,

Michael
