Readynas DLNA Playlists helps with Our Jukebox

Hi StephenB Thanks for your help,

after some extensive research i have manage to get "Our Jukebox" (for alexa) to pick up M3U playlists...HoooRahhh!

after reading some of the threads on here, someone was using a Playlist creator 3.6.2.

i thought after pulling my hair out i'll give it a shot.

Downloaded and did some tests..Note Playlist Creator will only load Mp_3 files would not load W4a or wma files. :( but any who i still have lots of mp_3 files and not the end of the world.

so anyone stuck on this, i got this working. after looking at the M3U in a txt editor like notpad i found the below:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:273,Heart Shaped Grenades - 1 - Chains
..\Buried By My Heartache\Heart Shaped Grenades\Chains.mp_3
#EXTINF:253,BBMH - 1 - Choke
..\Buried By My Heartache\BBMH\Choke.mp_3
#EXTINF:304,Hail to the King - 2 - Hail to the King
..\Avenged Sevenfold\Hail to the King\02 Hail to the King.mp_3

though i managed to type out the full file path, the only way i could get it working, appoliges im not very good on the lan networking side and IP addresses but i managed to get it work this way also

#extm3u

#Extinf:273,Heart Shaped Grenades - 1 - Chains

smb:\\Your Nas IP\music\artist folder\album folder\track file.mp_3

NOTE: once the file had been finished in "Our Jukebox" you must clear the search filter a few times then re-index and then download the .html log and check if it seen the playlists.

Hope this helps anyone

cheers matt
