DNS-323 uPNP M3U Playlist path format
« on: March 31, 2009, 12:16:43 PM »
Hi,

I've been using the builtin uPNP media server in the DNS-323 and it seems to work fine feeding mp3 to my linksys media player, with one exception. M3U playlists in a directory containing just song names in that directory are fine, but I've found no way to specify a path in the M3U to allow songs from other directories that works on the DNS-323. Playlist always shows as empty when using a path.

Looked at many other forums for hints, on other similar NAS boxes, etc. I'm using the forward slash format since this is ARM / Linux based. Here are some of the things I've tried with a simplified file structure:

I've made a simple tree where I have a single mp3 in:
     Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3

Note: the UpnP base folder is /Volume_1/Media/Test

A m3u in the "song" folder containing just "the_song.mp3" will work fine. I've tried placing a m3u in the Test folder containing all these lines (one at a time) , and never found the song (with a refresh every time):

song/the_song.mp3
./song/the_song.mp3
/song/the_song.mp3
//song/the_song.mp3
Test/song/the_song.mp3
/Test/song/the_song.mp3
//Test/song/the_song.mp3
/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
//Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
/Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
//Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
/KNAS/Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
//KNAS/Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
/KNAS/Volumes/Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3
//KNAS/Volumes/Volume_1/Media/Test/song/the_song.mp3

What is the secret sauce to make this work?  ???

If this is just broken, can we please add it to the 1.07 wishlist!
 
 Thanks!

Hi there! well i have surfed the net to check this issue and found out that .m3u will work if you will going to use Winamp (of course,lol). It will going to play in Windows Media Player 11 if it supports .m3u files. you can try looking for an m3u ripper or something like that to be able to play in on WMP11. as long as the UPnP Server is enabled already in your DNS, it should be okay.
