MinimServer rescan?

1) Instead of browsing via folder view to set these pins, browse via "n playlists"

2) Change the filenames of the pinned playlists so that they sort before all other playlist filenames. For example, instead of naming the playlist file BBC Radio 3.m3u, use one of these names:

.BBC Radio 3.m3u
+BBC Radio 3.m3u
-BBC Radio 3.m3u

This ensures that adding or removing other playlists doesn't change the lexicographic sort position of your pinned playlists because the other playlists being added or removed will be sorted after your pinned playlists.

This is important because the Linn app stores pins using UPnP object IDs. The MinimServer object ID for a playlist includes the lexicographic sort index of its filename relative to other playlist filenames. The workaround ensures that adding or removing other playlists doesn't change the sort index positions of your pinned playlists.

Thank you, Simon. I implemented the name changes suggested above and rescanned and they seem to have held, so bravo. I also feel glad that this exchange overall hasn't only been to my benefit. We've demonstrated that pins are supported outside of Kazoo Server. And now that you've updated to Davaar 87, they might offer you some slight convenience, too. (Win-win-win.)
