I am trying to create playlists on the PC and save them to my music folder on the NAS so they can be read by Minimserver. I have tried the various options in the playlist creator (the one you recommended in a previous thread) but to no avail. The playlists I am trying to create are for tracks from different folders. I am saving the playlist to the root of my music folder. Where am I going wrong? Cheers, Bill.

When you create playlists in Windows for a Linux-based NAS, you have to consider the following three points:

1) MinimServer can only read m3u and m3u8 playlists.
2) The playlists must contain relative paths instead of absolute paths.
3) The paths in the playlist file must contain the Linux file separator '/' instead of the Windows file separator '\'.

Thanks for the reply. In the playlist creator program, I have selected m3u as the file type, I have selected the relative paths option and the correct file separator, but still no joy. The playlist shows up OK in Minimserver but it contains no tracks. Can't seem to find any other option that I can try.
Bill.
