RE: Minim not understanding m3u files

As in OP, the same music on a card in my phone works with Bubble just fine. The card music/playlists data was written via PC but is understood by Android - so I'd expect that files interrogated by PC (or Android, plainly) would be "reported" correctly. Hence I believed the QNAP issue to be arising from an aspect of Minim. My NAS is on all the time (which is the point), my PC only sometimes, so I need to get the NAS access to work. Rather annoyed that, this far down the line, QNAP multimedia apps don't support m3u playlists. Pretty basic omission ! The Sonos S1 system does that, but forces access via Samba SMB1, which is an acknowledged security risk. My new QNAP does not allow SMB1, but my old one (copies only), still has to to enable me to use my (oldish) Sonos at all

MinimServer has (since 2012) always supported .m3u playlists with correct file paths (i.e., using forward slash on Linux and macOS, backslash on Windows). The recent change was made to improve compatibility in a common case where a .m3u file dosn't strictly conform to the .m3u specification. |

RE: Minim not understanding m3u files
Gosh, thanks for the massive amount of effort this morning.
For info, my files are generated by extracting from CD using EAC v1-6, but replacing the default artwork with one that has been squeezed down to around 30kB, so the inclusion in every track is not too heavy on the overall size. The info in the the online CD databases is often the source of naff field info, but there are many instances where I've cocked up and had to correct stuff using Mp3Tag. Playlists have been made using Playlist Creator. I put in the errors for info for later rumination, except the ones pertaining to the m3u issue. It looks like they could be a good way of identifying problems, which I have tried & failed to identify before using some freeware that claimed to do so, but could not. I'll try & comment on each (07-06-2024 13:40)simoncn Wrote: [quote='windbag' pid='50246' dateline='1717762261'] These should go away when you install update 251.

RE: Minim not understanding m3u files
Thanks once again.
Have stopped/reinstalled Minim, getting 252. No error after rescan  Library appeared in Bubble, and now playing first (test) playlist to the correct receiver. Getting pretty much all the artwork, but am getting "Adding to Playlist" & wheeling - maybe still rebuilding after rescan ? - how can you tell if it has finished ? Has finished "Adding", and other playlists are coming up with most artwork in place. Starting to look good. Looking at the log, there are now 3,652 Errors (out of 29k tracks), which seem to be mostly of the type: "Error: playlist _MainArtists/W,X,Y,Z/Wo-Wu/.../_Playlists/07_Black Cuillin.m3u: no matching file for ../Sound Files/07_Black Cuillin/12_When The Snow Melts.mp3 I suspect these are arising from me having moved a block of artist files inappropriately without making a playlist regen (I stupidly made absolute playlists in the early days). One possible problem: - the App didn't appear in the Home QNAP home dashboard, on any of the three "pages". It did before. Just gone back and made sure the drop-down menu had "Display on Administrator's Main menu", which it was, but still nowt on the main menu. So, tried "Every Users menu", but no change. Problem ? |

RE: Minim not understanding m3u files
I found a solution for this on the QNAP forum.
1) As the administrator user, open App Center and click on My Apps 2) Click the drop-down arrow under the MinimServer icon and select "Display On" at the bottom of the menu 3) Select "Every user's menu" 4) As a regular user, logout (if currently logged in), then login 5) Select the 3 bars menu in the top left corner. You should see the MinimServer icon. 6) Drag the MinimServer icon to the desktop It sounds like you have done steps 1 to 3 but not 4 to 6. |
